The Turtle Dress is Finished!

Yes, the turtle dress is done, and even after a trip through the wash, my hands are still blue from working with it all morning. This one's going to have to be washed on its own for a while I think - this is quite common with over dyed batik fabrics.

The dress is pinned in quite a lot on my dress form, but you can see the lovely shape of the princess seams, and the fullness of the skirt.

You can also see the octopus buttons - aren't they cute?

This dress is going for a trip to Canada, and I have been promised photographs of the turtles enjoying the mountain views!
