Thanks again, Linn. You know that is PRECISELY what I did to the photo (not in PE, but in another package). I reduced it from 24" to what should have been about 3x5. Guess for some reason it just didn't "take." I will preview in the future, to avoid another such blunder. As for the 2nd...

It actually looks much better in person. Not perfect, but a vast improvement over the former gaping hole. So sad.

darned hole (I suppose that has a double meaning here)

Yes, thank you! I had meant to delete it but couldn't find the button among all these jiggly wiggly smiley faces. I appreciate your assistance! What do you make of the dress? Perhaps a dressmaker, or far better home seamstress than I, using "Roberto Francini" fabric? I had to darn a hole in the...

Thank you, Linn. What did you do to resize it? I'd already shrunk it down significantly on my own computer, but it didn't seem to help, nor did rotating it. I can't seem to get the hang of this site. For one thing, these blinking smiley faces are about to drive me to distraction. I've click...

Pretty good shot! Thank heaven. I was so embarrassed.

No idea why previous photo posted sideways. I rotated it on my computer and it shows vertically in every software I used to open it. Here's a shot of the interior -- waist stay, selvages, seams, tape, zip, everything of interest in one shot.

OK, not sure what to do about this photo situation. Made the image much smaller, and rotated it, but it still comes out huge and now fuzzy, too. Will have to work on them and try again... SORRY for inconvenience. If you are able to delete the bad photo, please do! I don't want to clog up the...

let's try that again...

Overview w/ dress clipped to mannequin -- dress is MUCH too big on Lola. Also, it looks short on her, but she's 6' tall. On me, 5'6" if I stand up REALLY straight, it's just below the knee.

Has anyone ever heard of "Roberto Francini" ? I have a beautifully made dress (will upload photos if anyone is interested) -- basics are: cream wool gabardine, set-in waist w/pleating at front of just-below-knee straight skirt, single vertical seam detail down bodice, jewel neck, deep...

My immediate impression was that it's an 80s dress, home sewn using modern fabric and some older techniques. Probably by someone's mom, who pulled a metal zipper from her sewing box. Reminds me of my own (1983) prom dress -- made with my mom's 1950s-era sewing skills, learned from her...

Bycin, you and that lovely dress were made for each other. Looks incredible on you.

Looks like raffia to me. Hard to tell the texture on screen. Is it kind of "crunchy?" Regardless, it's very pretty.

Hi all -- Why can't I see any photos? I'm new to this forum. Am I missing something or do the photos disappear after a certain amount of time? Thanks.
