    a bit less yellow but yes! :rotfl:
  • Well you looked great & for what it's worth I think the Moulin Rouge idea is a fab one. Go for it! :D

    this is the only pattern i've found thats currently available for moulin rouge...i actually had a great simplicity one that i bought yonks ago and sold it on ebay :mad:

    guess i'll just have to design this one myself too!
  • Wow!

    Maybe the simplicity one is on EBAY again!?? Or you could put it on the "Want It" section of EBAY maybe?

    nah i'll just knock summit together. was thinking of it last year. am gonna make a corset and a very full skirt with heaps of layers of organza under to give it heaps of rustle! gives me plenty time to grow my hair to set it in ringlets too
  • Sounds ace!

    well the stunning fairy princess (;) ) dress arrived this morning and it's amazing! it fits wonderfully and my pale blue shoes go perfect! oooooh i'm so excited now, just wish i didn't have two more weeks to wait till i wear it! only thing i need is a bag, but i have a pattern in mind so i'll pick up some fabric, maybe today, and make one, will prob cost about a £5 so all in a very dfw outfit!

    right plans for today (please allow my self indulgence with this, it seems to make me do something!), well i'm up and dressed already...was waiting for postie and oddly enough he showed up when i was half dressed (bottom half dressed this time!)! mel is coming over shortly to try on the dorothy dress for her night out tonight then depending on it's fit we are either going into town to find her summit or going to the gym! have no definate plans for the evening other than cheer leading tryouts on here, but since i'm judging them it's not so bad ;)

    to do list,
    -[STRIKE]hoover living room (dry coco pops get everywhere!)[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]-iron bedcovers[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]-change bed[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]-call up smart card and bt sky balance [/STRIKE]:j
    -call up scottish power to set up dd and paycrap missed this one they close at 1pm on a sat! will do it monday
    [STRIKE]-sort through fabrics to see if i have the right colours to make bag (probably not tho)[/STRIKE]

    that'll do since i'm not sure of my plans, if i have more time i'll add others

    hope you are all having a fab day and warming up for the try outs, 8pm at the dfw party on the playing fields (for anyone who's wondering what i'm on about check out lookingaheads diary!)

    ciao ciao xx

    Have a good day! I love that you make lists - I do too, it makes me more organised and less likely to forget things :) Are we going to see pictures of this dress? :)

  • Hi LJ - just popping in to say "hi" before I say "bye".

    I love all the lists on here - think I'll go off and do some as a displacement activity to delay the onset of work...
