I was super lame about taking pictures of the Elsa dress I made for my niece. She's in the UK, so I didn't get to fit it on her, so I put grommets in the back for her to lace up. Someday, when I'm a grown-up blogger, I will take many photos of my work in progress. Since I didn't do that, I'm just going to hope you are satisfied with how lovely she looks in it.

| So Lovely. Each and every sequin and rhinestone is sewn on individually. |
Here's a full length shot she took before she got herself all done up with hair and makeup.

| Still so so pretty |

| The cape got very wrinkled in the mail, but you can kind of see the icelike trim. |
The trim I used on the cape was really neat. It's silver and very ethereal. It really looks like frost, even close up.
I'm over my head in ruffles for my can-can skirt these days. I don't have a ruffler, so I've been using the gathering foot on my machine. I need FOURTY yards of finished ruffles. FOURTY!!! I literally sewed for an entire day, well into the evening this weekend and ended up with twenty. Aaargh. I love the way ruffles look, but they are making my life miserable. (Boy will they be cool though)
