One question, if I am reading the directions correctly, when you sew the skirt together, you end up with a front and back? Then the straps are placed around this circle?

I will definitely make this in a lightweight stretchy fabric. If I use chiffon I would probably not be able to pull it over my head...it would get stuck on my chest!

As my back is usually towards the audience I'm always looking for something with a bit of detail 'out back' to take their minds off our singing. This really fills the bill and I'm going to make it in red in the first instance as I have very little in that colour in my wardrobe. As you may guess from my spelling ('colour'!!) I'm British so your fame has sailed across the pond to good old blighty!

Could you possibly go into some more detail about how you do the different tops on the dress, especially the sleeved one which is the likely contender for the wedding. Also, did you just tie the straps or secure them some other way?
