She's Finally Done!

Warning-- this post is a little picture heavy!

















The pleated skirt is attached with a raw edge, which is a probably a little different from what you are all used to, but I like the way it looks And didn't I promise twirling?

Very nice, Ali. Congratulations.

I like the look of the double buckle.

Lots of good qualities in that design - reminds me of stone, yet dares to be different, twirls, yet restrained. I like it!

i also think that style of skirt is complemented by the style of boots i just couldnt imagine either without to be honest
and its nice to see someone who wears there heart on there sleeve quite literally
