Aw, thanks Sandra:) It had to red sequins, though, and I really MUST get around to hemming it at some point…

Thanks T! It’s definitely a “Me” dress – red AND sequins! No, no more difficult than sewing plain jersey really. Although a beginner may say different, I suppose:)

No, although it couldn’t have been more apt!! He doesn’t feature in my record collection, unfortunately:) There was a video of me dancing at the end, but it didn’t upload properly.

Thanks, red is my favourite colour, probably because of my colouring, as you say. 😀

Sheila, happy belated birthday! It looks like you celebrated in style *and* in a fabulous red dress. It’s gorgeous on you. I love that pattern, too and your clever yarn and needles necklace. You must have been on a cloud that night. Cheers.
