I saw this lovely dress in a magazine and decided to draw it, what do you think? All those swirls were fascinating to me!

Love the dress and your drawing. Oh to be young and thin and able to pull off wearing something like that.

What a great dress - it's almost like a sculpture! You did a great job with it... I feel I might be a bit underdressed for the party, though! ha!

Thanks for joining us!

I loev the manor in which you are working-out the details of the dress. It's always sooo easy to get overwhelmed with the little things. I think your approach is perfect. :-)

Very pretty! You captured the sculptural-ness (that is a word now, trust me) of the dress perfectly.

You captured the dress beautifully.

I just read in the newspaper that Costco is getting into the bridal gown business... But you won't have to buy gowns in bulk. Amazing.

Have a great weekend, jj
