My sister wants a maxi Tira, too, so I'm really pleased to see one, and will proceeed to show yours to her, because I'm sure she'll love it as much as I do. ;-) She fell in love with the design almost the same moment I did.<br />I love your long skirt - it really looks sooo twirly, and there is something to that flamenco dancer comment... because it reminds me of the way my sister's Indian skirts move, and kathak - the Indian dance she does - is distantly related to flamenco. :DHana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-40162147424742698852013-05-17T14:32:05.786-07:002013-05-17T14:32:05.786-07:00Don't worry, my Tiraprocrastination is worse t...Don't worry, my Tiraprocrastination is worse than yours - I preordered the pattern and I still haven't made it up! I have been struggling with what size to make, since I'm not built for how the sizes are broken down, but thanks to your tips I think I know what to do now! The small bust and broad shoulder adjustments you made are brilliant, thanks! I plan to tackle this when I get home from LA... <br />Speaking of which, I got a good haul at the Loft yesterday but nothing this fabulous! Clearly I need to go with you. <br />Anyhoo, your dress is awesome.
