You're right- I...Awww, thanks so much Jessica! You're right- I guess I *do* tend to put some sort of trimming on my garments, it's really become such a habit it's almost just my subconscious doing it now! ;-)<br /><br />As for the roll, thanks for the compliment! I have a post about how I do it here: http://mode-de-lis.blogspot.com/2014/06/tutorial-rolled-vintage-updo.html. I'm not the best with giving hair advice, so.... I'm not quite sure how to advise more than that. ;-) I will say that using a real-hair rat makes it lots easier! Also, be sure your rat is nice and firm and pretty large, like the one I have pictured. Other than that, it might help more to know how you do it so I could give pointers on how to do it differently. Maybe we'll just have to use that as an excuse to get together sometime...! ;-)<br /><br />Hope you have more success with this style! It really is so handy and easy when you have the knack of it! :-)Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-89898753228274816992015-08-25T15:13:29.939-05:002015-08-25T15:13:29.939-05:00Yep.... gotta live it up as much as possible!! ;-)...Yep.... gotta live it up as much as possible!! ;-)Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-39700817243190474332015-08-25T10:40:15.234-05:002015-08-25T10:40:15.234-05:00Love this!

I absolutely love and admire your habit of always trimming your sleeves and necklines with bias tape, or rick-rack, or whatever else you have on hand–it always makes the dress look like Lilly of Mode-de-Lis.<br /><br />I was wondering if you could share your hair styling secret of how you always pull off that perfect roll? I have been trying and trying, but always ending with a sloppy looking mess. I would greatly appreciate some pointers! :)<br /><br />Much love,<br />Jessica, the Eldest Sister & SingerJessica Boyerhttp://boyerfamilysingersblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-69838432760184583732015-08-20T10:31:55.892-05:002015-08-20T10:31:55.892-05:00So...
