Now, I seem to remember when I first said I was getting this book - SOMEONE needed to get more information on this dress. So when the book arrived, I noticed the dress was in it and took a *lot* of photos (it was a pretty big section of the book).
If you happen to know who wanted this, and can let them know it is here, that would be great!
Unlike my other entries, I am going to post these in the same order that the book had them, starting with the text. This is mostly because this dress (and it's construction) need a lot of explanation). Watch out for choppy text breaks ahead: To the textcave Batman!
