Consolation Prize Win for Me

Although I didn't win the big prize (which was having your dress design made up to put in their shop and £200 voucher for Clothes Box), at least they gave me a surprise £20 clothes voucher.:) Thanks to the OP for the competition (sorry I don't know who posted it).

Another HUGE thanks goes out to all the MSE's who saw my plea for votes and obliged before my post was removed. Also, all the lovely comments helped me realise that my design was not too shabby!! Without you I would only have got one vote from my OH! I think I will stay well clear of competitions that are judged on Facebook in future.

    I saw from their posts that you hadn't won and was so disappointed for you. Your design blew the others out of the water. Well done for getting as far as you did though xx

    Glad you got something:)

    Thought your design was by far the best but there you go...

    Here is the link https://www.facebook.com/pages/Clothes-Box/259334060780033 .
    If you scroll down a bit you will see five different 20's style dresses. Mine is the one second from the left with beads hanging across the arms and hips and butterfly motifs at the back of the neck and hip. The one that won is on the far left.
