It reminds me of a paper dress that's in the V&A in London - I used to spend quite a lot of my lunch break gazing at it and dreaming of the perfect fabric and now you've beaten me to it! Great fancy lacy facings!

The facing is a winner, must try that myself. Ha, if I had a dollar for everytime I've sewn the dart on the wrong side, or sewn the inside to the outside-any kind of boo boo-I'd be a millioniare!!!<br />The handbag is rather dreamy and I am sooo crushing on your gorgeous smile!
