In Which I Am Shown Up

Friends, I have to tell you, I *love* it when this kind of thing happens. I was commissioned to re-create the skirt Rapunzel wears in the recent movie "Tangled." But, we couldn't find the exact fabric that the customer wanted for the floral panel in the center. So she asked me to make the skirt out of a plain satin, and she'd paint all the detail on it that she wanted. To be honest, I thought it sounded like it would be a cute homemade kind of a deal when all was said and done. However. Check out the following.

This is what the girl wanted to wear.

This is what I made, per her instructions and dimensions.

...and this is what she did with it. 

Seriously????? Seriously. I mean. That's artwork. Click on the photo to see it zoomed in a little.

I salute you, E.E. in California. You rock.
