Looks like I should be able to post pics now, tech issues all better.

Please forgive the moving clutter.

The shoes are Charles David 'Baci' that I got for less than $30.00 on sale.

The dress is one of my other vices - fabric & sewing. Finding the shoes at least $160.00 off egged on my fabric-buying impulse. Likely an unhealthy combination for my pocketbook if it were to become a trend.

Anyway, here goes - shoes & gown.

Goodness - you are such a talented seamstress. I love the entire outfit - the almost backless dress is very sexy and the Charles David shoes are so cute!

Thanks. A lot of the time I think of myself as an enthusiastic amateur who never knows when a project is too difficult. Anyone who spends enough time sewing also spends a fair amount of time ripping out seams sewn in wrong.

The hope/goal is to lose a good portion of my pregnancy weight by next Christmas so the dress won't -cross fingers- fit by that time. Luckily, my shoe size should stay the same from now on. So I should be able to keep my shoe collection for a good long while.

It's funny for me, both shoes & fabric - I have more than I realize of both items (my daughter counted about 100 shoes this month on a walk through my closet & I know I moved at least a dozen plastic tubs full of fabric to our new home this year). But, somehow each piece of fabric or shoe still has it's own distict personality for me. Yes, I love making something that I could never actually find in a store - and clothes are cheap enough right now that I really only want to make something impossiple to buy - but I also love sometimes just checking out a fabric for it's beauty or possibilities. Probably the same way some of us consider our shoes, actually.

Lets just say I could probably survive quite well without actually stepping foot in a shoe department or fabric store for years - But what fun would that be?

Are you looking for Charles David pictures? Or just some sites to see what's current?
