You look lovely! And rightfully proud of an elegant well-fitting black couture creation. Great job--inspires me, especially since it's in black (I'm French, need I say more?) Thanks again -- Solange

Very nice. Fabulous little black dress. Yes the class does teach patience......I have not given up just put my couture dress aside . Should finish as I am at the lining.

once you get to the lining most of it is done! and putting in the lining can be done in front of the TV as you don't need the machine
