I actually <i>like</i> the wrinkled linen look, but maybe that because I hate ironing too!<br />@Nic: I think I like these more than the patterned ones too! This one is with a tester too so hopefully pattern will be ready next week :)<br />@Vonnie: You know I'd love to make one for Erica!<br />@PickedWeasel: That's actually where I did by these from! I love Abakhan's, they're so reasonable:)Kitschy Coohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498979148251880818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-43518903120895639042009-07-09T10:47:51.491+01:002009-07-09T10:47:51.491+01:00I love them, they're really simple but v prett...I love them, they're really simple but v pretty. They'd be good in autumn with a long sleeved top and tights underneath too. <br />Linen - I know I go on about them all the time, but Abakhan's have some coloured cotton/linen mixes, and you can order samples: http://www.abakhan.co.uk/acatalog/Plain.htmlPickled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314110021040229107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-24455791673379370972009-07-09T10:42:59.426+01:002009-07-09T10:42:59.426+01:00I think I may need to ask you for a custom dress f...I think I may need to ask you for a custom dress for Erica, I absolutely love these!Vonniehttp://www.blottedcopybook.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-22159305649614432962009-07-09T10:41:46.294+01:002009-07-09T10:41:46.294+01:00That dress is so lovely!!
