I'm totally with you on that. If you're going to spend good money on something... why not spend a little more and make sure you get good quality?
I'd ask my mom but she's 600 miles from Detroit...
I got cards from someone at CC last Saturday, but can't remember who gave em to me. I'll be one the lookout for worthy candidates.. :-)
I'll sign up properly when I'm in the new house.
My mom sews very well. I have a clue what she charges for little girls dresses with all kinds of smocking and such.. I imagine this kinda dress would be similar in complexity. Even for a cheap seamstress I can't imagine doing a dress like that for much less then $200.
