I will have to try it out, because it doesn't seem to add undue bulk, which was my concern. <br /><br />I'm really actually curious to try the looped sash. It may feature the next time I make up this dress.Meetzorphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760692484653759480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-28596695823303489012009-02-14T14:13:00.000-05:002009-02-14T14:13:00.000-05:00This is the best version of this pattern I've ever...This is the best version of this pattern I've ever seen!
