Lovely, lovely dress, that suits you perfectly. The fabric looks beautiful too, but so difficult to tackle. However your creation looks like you got the better of it. It's a pity that the lady refused permission, however the Central Museum background looks perfect, and I suspect she regretted her over-hasty decision.

Twinsies with you?!! The ultimate compliment!!! Seriously, yes, it is all for fun and a great learning experience for me on all sorts of different levels. Every time I've gotten out and away to take photographs, I have (usually!) had the best experience(s) interacting with other folks or being a part of the nature around me. Think I'll be sticking to my nature backgrounds for a while now. Thanks so much Carolyn! :)

To tell you the truth, I really did not expect her to tell me 'no'. Was really quite stunned she said 'no', even after I explained I wanted to include historical information about the church in my post.... dressed as I was.... really??!! Thank you Felecia! Blessings back to you! :)

Thank you Kathrin! I wondered if I should share so much, as it was 'off-topic' of sewing, but know I enjoy learning about other's lives and a little about where they live too. Those pictures of the fabric bolt information have already been so helpful! No more relying on memory. :)

Your dress is so lovely on you Lisa! such pretty summery fabric and looks like the very perfect thing for a hot day. Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous :) I love the stylish dress books too; have every intention of making many more things from it too. We'll be twinsies!
I can imagine how you felt when the lady said "no" how awful! I too try to stick to deserted and public places when taking pictures for that very reason, it's intimidating enough as it is without people even unintentionally making you feel even more embarrassed for it. The things we do! but finally we're all just trying to have fun with it, aren't we? I just tell myself as long as I'm still having fun then ok, otherwise I'll just stop.

HI Lovely Lisa! You dress is so pretty! It fits you wonderfully! Great job! Weird about the church, but everything turned out nice in the end! Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!

Your dress turned out just lovely! Great idea to take a picture of the information on the fabric bolt. Afterwards you always wonder ... but now no more. I love that you always share a bit about your life in your posts.

Thank you Hana! :)

What a wondeful dress, Lisa! The print is beautiful and the colours suit you so well! Surely, it was the only way to treat the fabric by serging immediately!
Such a nice story about taking your pictures! I can see why you won't play the piano and prefer being with your family instead! Have a nice time, SaSa

2015-07-16T06:56:29.606-04:00

I am trying to work on my construction techniques and sort of struggled with 'settling' for serging the seams so am glad to hear you think it was a decision well made. No more playing the piano for me professionally anytime in the near future! Who knows what the future may hold..... but now I enjoy not being tied to such a structured schedule. Thank you! :)

It was fun to share my little story of what the day held 'behind' the photos. Thank you so much Katharina! :)

2015-07-16T06:50:42.259-04:00

He's one of mine too! Playing the piano professionally is a closed chapter for me now. Let me tell you though, it was tempting because I LOVED every minute when I played! But we recently joined a church we truly love and I love sitting on the pew with my family. And if we need to slip out of town over a weekend to check on Tom's mom, it's no big deal. :)

This one was especially aggravating because not only did the edges fray almost immediately after cutting, but the fabric sort of retracted and changed shape too. But after dealing with all the negatives..... it is such a dream to wear! Thank you Beverly!

2015-07-16T04:35:10.580-04:00

The dress is so pretty - and it is very Monet. The deeper, cooler colours suit you, and the peaceful print suits your more introspective nature. You made the right decision to serge the edges and get them under control pronto.

What a story about the church - I agree, I would find it difficult to ask to take pictures as well. What a pity you couldn't - but an ironic ending :). Maybe a whole new chapter in life will emerge from this encounter...

2015-07-16T01:03:04.688-04:00

What a nice story! I am glad it turned out so well, the photos are beautiful! And the dress is too. The fabric print is really gorgeous and has such a nice drape! And last but not least I love the dress you made from it!

2015-07-15T21:32:53.662-04:00

It's lovely, Lisa. Monet is one of my favorite artists so I'm inclined to love the fabric :) So, are you going to apply for the pianist position???

What a lovely place to take pictures of your pretty dress. I agree with you about the "silkies" from Joann's. They look & feel nice, but I hate to sew them.
