<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 2478595, member: 5398"]Thank you so much Leslie for all the excellent information and also your idea that a buyer might want to deconstruct it for a new pattern. The skirt has two gored flounces that make it look fluted as you said. Stabilizing/repairing it was a time-consuming task, and I didn't realize how frustrating it would be hand sewing with invisible thread!!! The dress isn't worth the time I put into it (when I started, I didn't think it would take as long as it did), but it's been a good learning experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
