First, everyone and all associated property is fine after the storms on Wednesday. Thanks so much for the prayers and well-wishes!

Second, I'm about 80% decided to take off the ribbon and lace trim from the sheer dress. Not only does it lack the visual punch I want, it doesn't really show up at all.  I'm debating among no trim at all, just bows with the brighter ribbon, ruffles, ruching, or something else. [livejournal.com profile] the_aristocat mentioned that ruching is less common than ruffles, which briefly tilted me toward ruching; but the print is busy enough that I don't think it would show up any more than the ribbon and lace. So I'm going to look at some more pictures and then get back to it.  I do have picture proof, but it's still on my camera. I took lots of lightning pictures on Wednesday, with dress pictures in between.

Third, I'm jumping on the Pastel Regency kick with [livejournal.com profile] jenthompson  just because I want to, and FFC's having a sale. I want yellow, but that's about all I've decided.  Those of you who have a decent idea of my coloring: should I go with a softer "butter" yellow, or a brighter "lemon" yellow? There are too many options!
