Alas, I have brocade I haven't made into frocks yet, myself.

I would offer my assistance, should you wish it, as a seamstress of many years experience, next time I am in the far south.
Could be a while though...

Very far south!

Actually, my mother spent three years in trade school becoming a women's tailor and clothing designer. She'd make a person want to rip their hair out with her pickiness though.

ooh I'd love to have a look :) It seems I'm about that size now...or approaching it rapidly.
Weekends I have childerbeasts...but if you are availiable I may be able to come over one week day next week...I get paid on Wed (so after that would be good).
I take it you hate them because of their assoication with unplesent/better not remembered events?

Weekends I have childerbeasties too...
Possibly working Mon-Tue-Wed so...
After Wed would be very good. I am working Thurs, but only part of the day.

Yes. Hate because of complex associations & they don't fit me any more & I don't want to wear them & I don't really feel like altering them.
So many, many reasons...

Oh, how tall are you ? I know I've met you once, but it was a long long long time ago. I vaguely think you're a little shorter than I, so you might be in for taking up a few hems. No big deal in the scheme of things.

Will email you when I can get into my email. In the meantime, how about Thursday pm? Specifically 2:15 / 2:30pm at Spring Hill ?

hmm I was going to ask if you meant the upper end of the size 16 scale (16-18) or is it more like a 14-16 .... I like the sound of the dragonfly brocade outfit...... but it sounds like i've missed the boat.... or it's probably not going to fit my boobs or height anyhow... both outfits sound lovely hey :)

Custom made to a size I was, but am no longer.
Probably more to the 18 end of 16 & from GGG's moving day I think you are not so much taller than my 5'7"
You have not missed any boat, if you are interested, you are still welcome to take a look, since missedangel hasn't yet either.
If you are not at work during the day Thursday, or can wrangle a moment off, Thursday pm at Spring Hill is when I suggest a Good Moment to inspect.

cool, I thought you were fairly tall from moving day..... I've only got a good few inches on you (ok 5 inches.... but who's counting.... did you wear heels with it???) :)

4 inch heels I think. or 3 1/2...
