Thanks, Donna. That was the other reason I needed to get suggestions from the group before I leave tomorrow (the first being shopping for fabric/trim). Spending time with Heather and Laura is always budgeted into my shopping time at Costume College, and I hope they're not too busy I can't talk to them about my project. They are very helpful and have always been quite willing to talk about their designs and variations thereof. Also, if you're going to Costume College and have never taken one of their classes, it's a MUST!! No one else can pack a half day lecture into one hour like they can. They teach like sisters too; they debate and tease the whole time without it ever being unprofessional or annoying. Instead it makes for an even more fun class.
Luckily, my daughter has felt like a princess since I agreed to make this dress for her. Then again, she's felt like a princess from the time she was born.
