I did send a photo to Superior as well because they should know how well their thread works.

She looked so happy in your dress, which was why I asked, why she would not wear it.

How special this dress will be ... a collaboration of both of your ideas and abilities to create a very special and unique custom dress. The quilting detail is amazing, and I can only imagine what it will be like once you add on all the other trimmings that she wants.

It's so beautiful I'm at a loss for words (something my friends say doesn't happen very often!)

Not that it isn't beautiful now, you did one fabulous job on that dress!
