    Like todays dress of the day from the front, the back is odd, I just don't get why they feel the need to gather and swell it like hotel curtains.

    I believe it is called meringue-ing! That's what I call it anyway! ;) Lots of dresses now have this gathered poofy thing going on, some have it all over, at least it is confined to the back of this one! I think it is quite reserved on this one actually, it looks quite effective from the side. At least I won't have to worry about my bum looking big!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I think the ruffles are stiched into place :confused: I'd hope so anyway!

    Happy 200 pages! :j :j :j

    Yes, to be fair to them, we were refunded immediately. It was a present for a family member who had come over from Ireland to go on the Eurostar from here so we were really disappointed about the whole thing.
