Sadly, she felt $400 was just too expensive for a girl from the 'burbs. I agreed that it was well worth coveting, but not $400 worth. So we agreed to keep each other on track and make a reasonable facsimile of it by June.
I've sketched a rough plan of what I think the pieces should look like. Sadly, this is Sunday night (and Amazing Race is delayed, so I have time to confess that I'm going to do this, so you will all keep me honest), so I don't have time to work on it again until next Friday night. I'm going to make a trial run from this fabric.
If I love what I've drawn based on that white dress, I'll find fabric I love for the real thing. Updates in weeks to come!

Very pretty green ! Can't wait to see what you end up with.
I mentioned to g that there is one in the March Burda similar (no empire seam though) that I'd like to try. Maybe I should start looking for some fabric.
Wow! I would covet that dress too!! You're so lucky to be able to sew your own dresses, though - I wouldn't behind to know how! I'm lucky enough if I can sew a button back on! :-)
