...and the little Austrian seamstress

Ta-dah! I finished the dress last night, sweat dropping from every pore as it was 27° in my flat. I need to seriously work on my Paris-Hilton-pose as I look somewhat matronly and club-footed in the photo above, but otherwise, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. It's a little too wild to wear to the family wedding I'm attending tomorrow, but definitely not too wild for the office, methinks.

Thanks to everyone again for the nice reactions on my last post both in my comment-box and via e-mail. Most appreciated!

Lunch-break purchases: In spite of the fact that we got our so-called 13th salary (Urlaubsgeld) together with the regular salary today, I managed to exercise extreme restraint and only went food shopping, picking up the July UK Marie Claire on the way back to the office. I started reading the History of Love this morning, but will attack my glossy instead, I think.
