    Wow, you really lucked out with the purple band. And it looks so good on the skirt. Finding the exact right color purple to match another purple is so hard. One day when I was in study hall in 9th grade I saw another girl was wearing a a whole outfit in purple: skirt, blouse, and vest (because long vests were really popular in 1970) and she was also carrying a purple purse. Only problem was they were four different shades of purple. As you may already know purples either lean more to the blue side or to the red side, and this girl's outfit was both sides of that color line. One piece had a lot of red, another a lot of blue, etc. The image of that horrendous outfit is seared into my brain so I'm really careful about matching the color. I didn't say anything to her because she was several rows away from me and I didn't know her personally. But I have a feeling some of her girlfriends did because I don't remember ever seeing her wear those particular garments together again. To this day it makes me shudder.

    Came here for the gorgeous dress but the bonus animal content was definitely a plus. Your furry friends are super cute and I just love the confused chicken lol. If one ever gets over the fence again, if you can wait until after dark to catch her it'll be super easy. We kept chickens when I was growing up and the hens are basically comatose when they're roosting. Just approach her slowly and pick her up (by her body not her neck) in one fast motion and then carry her tucked against you like she's a football you're trying to defend. :)

    If you have another chicken situation, chicken burrow down when they think they are in danger, they just hunker down (just pretend to come from above and they think you are a predator). Once they sit, pick them up with both hands (wings to their bodies) and lift them over the fence :)

    Totally here for the chicken content. Tip for future chicken catching. Grab them firmly at the location of the wings, then tuck the head down towards the bottom of one wing. The don't put up a fight. Also be careful with Lion and Dora, chickens can do damage when scared.

      Thank you! Good to know about the chicken. For hems, I basically just put everything on (including shoes, of course), and stand in the mirror and see where it needs to be shortened to, then pin that section (while I'm still wearing it), until it's all at the right length. Then I take it off and press it. I hope that makes sense?
