You look great! Such a cute outfit! Also, I love your shoes! I'm still sending lots of good thoughts your way about your wrists. I hope they're able to figure something out.

I love this look! The dirndl is so crazy flattering anyway.

So cute! I really like those African fabrics they've got in now, and you've made great use of that one! And, yay dirndl! I've wanted one since I was about four, when we used to go to the Cahnstatter-Volksfest-Verein in Philly, but in eleven years of sewing I've never gotten around to it. Yours is so cute though, I think I should!
