Reminds of of the beloved Doc Martin show that I watch on PBS. As to the rude comment left by some anonymous person, shame on them. I loved the dress you made. And more importantly, I'm sure you loved it too. That's what counts - that you make or wear something that you like and enjoy. And, you did an excellent job making it. Some people out there in blog land just need to learn some good old fashioned manners. My best to you.

I would make one like that and in those colours but I haven't stitched that type of fabric. You shouldn't listen to one negative comment when you have so many positives! I love that dress! Sorry I hadn't commented on your Scottish tour either, and that was great to see as I have never been there. Looking forward to hearing about your holiday. Have a great week.
