The colour really stands out in the sunlight! It's gorgeous! Thanks for the "back"-pictures. Yep, I definitely "need" this pattern :). Can't wait for pictures of you wearing it.

Hope you had a lovely day!

The outfit is amazing. The use of black on top and bottom brings everything together so well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

LOL! I'm glad you like it! It's a red bengaline (perhaps faille?). I LOVE this fabric. I also used it to make that 18th riding jacket back in October.

They are pleats! I pleat the side fronts in one direction and the back sides get pleated in the opposite direction. Makes for the best drapery :D
