For Cecilia Marie

I have been living with this little dress for a while now. The sewing machine broke down mid-project, then there was the button holing incident (no need to go into the gory details here), and then poor little garment had a long rest before Almamater managed to get the iron out and finally, today, I packaged it up in some pretty paper and sent it off to be mailed by the always reliable Professor.

Cecilia, I hope you like it for all of its

lovingly stitched imperfections.

We sure hope to meet you soon!
