    I love the dress on you and the length is perfect. I am a 'granny' and I wouldn't have worn that dress the original length!!! hehe. You do what you want to do. Love your house and garden and all the activities you do. Love from Australia.

  • @debiallen4053
    @debiallen4053 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh yes! A good fresh cleN just makes everything right! The dress, I thought before I loved it I couldn't picture it looking nicer, then you shortened it. Being someone of average height, 5'4" to 5'5" , I didn't get it, how it. But, oh yes, after alteration and the model I do get it. Being such a tiny young lady it is definitely better shorter. Looks so lovely on you. Love the fabric too. Very pretty.Have to say I am a little jealous of all your pretty dresses. I need to get out of the jeans and get more fem. Been sort of tomboyish all my life. Love the wardrobe little Catherine. You gave me inspiration to get some spring cleaning done. Finally spring came early in Northern lower Michigan, USA. 3 days , snow melted everything budding out low 80 degrees F. Oh so nice. Happy Spring Catherine. Ty for sharing this Lovely video. You inspire us all.

    Catherine, I feel exactly the same way about cleaning. Most days I say I’m not gonna lay on my deathbed worrying that I didn’t clean enough. But then sometimes you just gotta get it clean for your mental health. Thank you, as always for the inspiration! 💗💗💗
