The underlining really gives the fabric the added weight it needed, and the skirt lining is a must for wearing stockings with the dress.<br />As for the hand-picked zip, I'd felt rather out of the loop when I'd see other bloggers gush about them, so I finally just decided to try one, and I'm glad I did. :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303837420300176952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938936179596176735.post-52618458255029809422012-12-29T22:54:39.245-05:002012-12-29T22:54:39.245-05:00Yeah, me too!
