That needs to be 36" after seam allowances, not before. I want to be able to breathe. Also, one of the front pieces has to be wider than the other, so, you know, I can fasten the stupid thing. So I won't be using the pretty green fabric for this project. If I didn't think purple velour would look tacky with dove-grey satin and black lace, I would totally use that up.

Wish list:

Dress form
Grommet maker (and, uh, grommets)
A comprehensible user's manual for my sewing machine
My great-aunt risen from the dead, because she had this long, badass career in textiles

...nothing major.
