Esther wants a new dress.

Esther wants a new dress,so I have to make one.We went on fabric-hunt together last Saturday,but still have to find material for the skirt-lining.Too busy this week,with my birthday and Saint Nicolas festivity going on,so it will have to wait for another week.I also have plenty of ideas for other dresses,don't have to get bored then.

Hi Sylvia! Thanks for commenting. I would love to hear more about your observations on contemporary costume. Would you be interested in filling out a questionnaire for my research? It would be great to have your unique perspective as a designer working outside of Ireland.
