  • fairylights asked: Are you making a gown? Will there be pictures? What do you have so far? I'd love to be able to make a pretty dress. Anyway, good luck Andra!

    Yes I’m making a robe a l’anglaise. There might be pictures, depends on how much I like the result. I don’t have much… just sketches and the centre back seam. I’ve struggled for a long time with the fit. It’s hard to measure myself, especially at the back. I haven’t quite solved all the issues yet, such as the en fourreau pleats.

    Thank you Naoise! :)
