Mean Ruffles!

Last night I was thinking about how to do the ruffles for the new dress. Lying in bed I pretty soon thought that I had two solutions which would work. This morning I wasn't quite so sure anymore. In the end I came up with something else and I am pretty happy with the result - eventhough it took way longer than I expected it to.
At the time red isn't one of the colors I'm drawn to when at the fabric store, but this combination (chosen by my dear friend and probably the best shopping assistant of all times!) is so cute I'm a bit sad I won't fit into it.
