Burda 12-2008-109 goes to the ball



Ta dah!  The finished frock.  

I am going to review this dress so will post more photos with the review, but I wanted to show you some piccies as the ball was last night.  We had a terrific time, but it was freezing!  It was in a large tin shed in the Showgrounds and the space heaters they had did not cope in the large space.  One of my companions checked the weather and it was 5 degrees C with an apparent temperature of 2 degrees C and it was not much warmer in the venue.  Groups gathered around the space heaters so I did meet some new interesting people so maybe in that respect the cold worked.

The theme of the ball was Cirque du Soleil  so they had some great entertainment for us.





A final picture of the two of us all dolled up...




Ciao for now kittens - more dress photos and a review to come soon.

  16. Your evening dress is breath taking. I like the unusual colour too - refreshing change from the usual black etc that you see. You would have really stood out in this dress.
