Have you met Sabrina? I am so happy I did. I met her on Chictopia as “simplycheap” (http://www.chictopia.com/simplycheap) and recognized her as having such a great eye for pattern, color and design. Sabrina lives in Bogor, Indonesia, where apparently, if she wants a dress, she can walk into a fabric store and choose whatever she likes, give a tailor her measurements and her idea for how she would like the dress to look, and they will make it for her or an incredibly decent price. I read about this on her Chictopia blog and was so in love with the dress she had made (shown bottom) that I contacted her complimenting her on her savvy and just casually asked if there was anyway I could have a dress made too. She said sure. She goes in to town on the weekends and if I sent her my measurements she could pick some fabric out and have a tailor make one for me too. She worked out the price and abracadabra this beautiful dress arrived in the mail today! Miracle! I love it SO much! I just slipped it on and styled it up quickly so that I could wear it for the remainder of the day but I love how she did an opaque charcoal tight with a brown sandal! So CHIC. This whole situation couldn’t be stronger proof that the internet is magic. Thank you SO much Sabrina! I LOVE this dress!

Wow! That is a fabulous story and fabulous dress! When I was in Thailand I looked into have some items made, but it turned out we didn't have time. Next time, I'm all over it!
