When you look at all the various apron dress fragments, it seems the garment could vary quite a lot.Stella Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469996244394603024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670213486548123819.post-87836908654921730242015-09-01T18:52:57.957-04:002015-09-01T18:52:57.957-04:00I wonder how it will affect the drape, too.

I'm very interested to see how it will behave with the lining in place too. I wonder if the lining will have a significant effect on the look and drape of the finished piece.Stella Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469996244394603024noreply@blogger.com
