The Luna Moth takes flight!
Finally, after all these years, the Luna Moth frock is done! So what still needed to be done on it?

It was ‘done’ for the photoshoot, but I almost always find with the first wearing of a garment that there are lots of little bits that need tweaking to make them work perfectly. With this dress I need to re-do the bottom-most layer of the skirt as when you pick up the train or when the wind blows it open the white support fabric shows, and that’s just not OK.
