Both are lovely but my favorite is the batik print one, thanks for helping me know what to call it pinkfox. Abi, you are lovely! I love the whirling photo, that is what I'll picture now when you say, "vroom!"

I love your hair.....Mine won't grow like that....it is a beautiful feature. I know how to do a bunch of cool braids and would love to get my hands on your hair to braid it.

You know Abi, if you ever tire of healing the sick, I think you should head to Hollywood and become a costume designer....
I like the first one too, but I can really picture you dancing in that red one. I bet no mere mortal could keep up with you.

I'm wearing the red to the dance Saturday!!!

Thank you all :) You heard me swearing and stomping on both dresses but they turned out. I think 95% of my creative process involves throwing things across the room.

KC - I have 3 books of patterns I've made!! Just trying to get my sewing and fitting good enough to actually MAKE them.

SD - hoorah! No one ever plays with my hair anymore. Dar used to.

A fun one to try on you would be "cherokee braids" which I was taught by a friend whose mom was cherokee and she taught me their braid. It would be awesome for a costume if you ever need an indian princess costume, I've done it for little girls with dark hair for costumes and it looks awesome. It is basically just parted in half and pulled into two ponies and tied, then fishtailed for a few inches and then about four inches left loose at the bottom. Your hair would do it awesome.

I also know the french ones and backwards french but the french herringbone is my favorite fancy one, would look great with the red dress. I wish I could come and fix it for Saturday for you.

i love herringbone braids but can't do my own. I can only do a regular french braid on myself.
