I have had wool dresses (in this basic style) before - not handmade, of course, and while I loved them, they just didn't work in my wardrobe. Even in Toronto, it's too hot for a thick wool dress when inside, often too bulky to manage with a coat when outside. I hope you get a lot of wear out of this, and let us know about it!K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-57816770804369888582012-10-22T09:51:28.242-05:002012-10-22T09:51:28.242-05:00It looked cute both ways, but now you feel great i...It looked cute both ways, but now you feel great it in and will wear it more often, so that is good.
