I LOVE IT. So much so that I ordered it directly from By Hand London instead of waiting around for the U.S. suppliers to order it. I wish it would come tomorrow but I'm afraid I'm looking at another week at least. I also have some Essex Linen (another weird name from Robert Kaufman) which is actually linen/cotton. It's about the color of your dress and I wonder if the linen/cotton will drape as well as the rayon/linen does. Perhaps I'll use that as a muslim????Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555677225543413982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-79937552563030162362013-07-30T07:50:07.806+01:002013-07-30T07:50:07.806+01:00Ha ha!

When I first saw this pattern it didn't really grab me at all, I just could see myself in it. Then I saw your version and was blown away by how lovely it was.
