I stumbled upon your blog while looking for wire hat frame tutorials and I could spend all afternoon looking at your photos and reading your posts. That dress is amazing and I'm so in awe that you recreated something you fell in love with online. Hopefully you will do an Irene Castle dutch hat in the near future so I can sew along with you? I'm very new at millinery but so inspired!lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909057859859329058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-34254725556705593482015-06-08T15:35:13.862-07:002015-06-08T15:35:13.862-07:00Great!
