Superbe !!!
I like the dress white the 'Berthe' & I love it without the ' Berthe'.
Congratulations for all your work (the petticoat !!!).

Stunning!!
So, I have to ask: How many inches is the circumference of that skirt hem?!!?

Oh! Sorry I didn't know that there was a question!
6 meters , which means 240"
