I have to bust out my sewing machine on the dining table, so when I leave it out, my son messes around with it, but then I can never finish a project in one night, so I'm constantly having to move all my sewing stuff up and down the stairs. Pretty annoying :(<br /><br />As for the dress, I love the option without the ruffles. I think it looks more sleek and formal, but I'm sure it would look awesome regardless of which option you end up going with.<br />kimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648379057856404736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-89751900109106882092012-11-06T16:32:25.086-08:002012-11-06T16:32:25.086-08:00oh wow, your new sewing room looks amazing!!! and ...oh wow, your new sewing room looks amazing!!! and i really love the ruffled detail of this dress! :D<br /><br /><3, Mimi<br />http://whatmimiwrites.blogspot.com/<br /><a href="http://whatmimiwrites.blogspot.com/2012/11/salt-city-bakery-win-order-of-biscotti.html" rel="nofollow">Salt City Bakery Giveaway</a><br /><a href="http://whatmimiwrites.blogspot.com/2012/10/shopbop-giveaway-whos-in-mood-for-31.html" rel="nofollow">$100 Shopbop Gift Card Giveaway</a>Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016998487501779622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-72419997758857590212012-11-06T13:31:03.157-08:002012-11-06T13:31:03.157-08:00#2!

How exciting that you have your own space!!<br />I am in awe that you whipped up such a gorgeous gown! If you wanted to go the simple but sophisticated route, the first option would be gorgeous with some shiny statement jewelry or pearls (in my humble opinion). The gathered ruffle gives an interesting detail around the neckline that I think would look gorgeous too. :) Oh can't wait to see what you decide but you're going to look amazing no matter what you choose! :) xoxo, PhoebePhoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379766282734384573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-73304485335957350202012-11-05T03:33:51.800-08:002012-11-05T03:33:51.800-08:00i like the plain one! but they are all pretty. :]i like the plain one! but they are all pretty. :]mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104725711615389133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-85070869874678017962012-11-05T01:07:53.478-08:002012-11-05T01:07:53.478-08:00I like the plain one, but the gathered ruffle is m...I like the plain one, but the gathered ruffle is my favourite.

It's a tough choice but whichever one you picked, I know it came out great.<br /><br />Side note - Elle, Khatu and I were shopping in NYC and came across a red dress similar to your LBD with sculpted cap sleeves. It didn't fit that great, but now I have it stuck on my mind. Please let me know if that design ever makes it to your store offerings!
