At least the Boutis on the skirt of Miss J's dress is finished. I may do some on the bodice or on the front of the sash. This was a lot of fun, but it took a lot of time. I'm sure that I didn't do this just exactly right, but I did learn a lot. To learn more about this technique you can go here or to Donna's blog where she posted about her Boutis projects last May. She has been very helpful to me while I've been working on this. 
I'm thinking of accenting this dress with yellow. I've got to get my brain in gear to decide.
The picture below shows the Boutis with the light shining through.
After I finish this dress, I only have 4 more dresses and 2 outfits for the grandsons to make before Easter. I'd like to get them done before the first of April.
Do you think I should get busy?

Sounds like me a few x-mases ago. I did 8 dresses. I won't do that do myself again. Sometimes, I learn from my over-exuberance to smock dresses. It's very easy to get carried away with myself. You're doing great.
It really looks beautiful. I can't wait to see it completed.
Yes, I would say that you should get busy.
This dress is coming along beautifully! Can't wait to see it finished. Love princess dresses.
