Thanks, Ann! Critics welcome. :-) Bingo, actually; you identified something we had a lot of trouble with: who knew that clutching a sheet in a relaxed, `natural' way is so hard to do in practice? Alina tried folding it, draping it, bunching it, and all kinds of things but nothing was quite right. So we went with what we could. I have a couple of funny outtakes of her with the sheet over her head in frustration, or grinning sheepishly with the wreckage on her shoulders.
But ya gotta draw a line and move on, so we did ... Thanks for commenting, Ann!
