I just retired and find that I have time to rediscover many of the crafts that I use to enjoy. There are also a lot of crafts that I'm just learning about also. There are so many resources now! It's almost like my life was black & white and is now in color. Thanks for being an inspiration.

    Great job! Love the enthusiasm. On a history note, this is a look from "her" S/S 2011 collection. McQueen died on February 11, 2010, and that collection was Sarah Burton's first full collection as creative director of McQueen. So you made a look from a female designer! Win!

    I'm a guy and not into fashion. But when I read the books I found the fashion part of it quite interesting. In the acknowledgement the author wrote that she isn't interested in fashion but had some help by a person. I think the reason why I found it interesting and even was looking forward on how the movie writers interpret the dresses was because the author is not really interested in fashion.
    I think the movie one looks a bit more 3D because they used bigger butterflies and the ones sticking out covered a bit of a wider area on the movie dress. But yours is a bit more colorful. As a whole it is a very pretty dress and a well edited video. :)
