I have been dreaming of making a Sallie for a while and although I love the look of the jumpsuit on others, I wasn’t sure it was … View Post

I don’t even know where to start on this one – let’s start with all the good and I’ll share my woes at the end! If you haven’t checked out the Lodo Dress from True Bias, you should stop reading this and go and check it out (but then come back and read the rest!).
