    That fabric shop - OH WOW! I wish we had such fabulous fabric & haberdashery stores like that here in Australia. Never seen one even remotely close to that. It's an Aladdin's cave! I'd love to work in such a place & be surrounded by such wonderful bolts of fabric, etc. It sent my head spinning. It's what I dream about. Fabric stores here are quite rare, esp family run ones. They are small AND expensive. Australia is a foodie & cook's paradise, but unfortunately a sewer's desert. Not much choice here at all. So unaffordable too.

    With the extra fabric of the third lace, you could make the removable train.

    April, would you ever make a video sharing your learning journey from a beginning seamstress to where you are at now? Like, detailing how you approached learning all these different design concepts and sewing skills and what that process was like? I would love to hear your story about how you made that journey! Unless you already made that video and I missed it 😅.

    I remember searching for lace in my fabric district a I couldn't find a black beaded lace that was black butterflies and not just embroidery for my graduation ball gown (spoiler alert: the ball was cancelled due to the pandemic) and I really wanted to look like a queen since my design is a black or royal purple velvet ball gown with beaded black lace along the hemline and a white silk hairbow with black lace to give me a "good girl does wicked" vibe but I decided to take a break from it since I know that they might have something else next time.
