OMG You Made That? Frilly, Underwater Skirt

In another life I want to come back as someone who makes their own clothes. No, I have no desire to be one of those girls on the bus who has clearly cobbled together her skirt out of random patches of fabric, or who's combined two pairs of pants so that her front half is sporting blue denim while her backside sports tan corduroy. That just looks sad. I don't want to be some fashion obsessed, would-be designer either. Then I'd have to get stick-thin just to fit in my own clothes. Nope, in my next life I'm coming back as one of those cool, artsy ladies with sewing machines in their living rooms who design adorable dresses and pull them off with spunk.
Yes, it's a very specific dream of reincarnation. I should probably start looking now for a religion that can make that one happen. Anyways, all of that is by way of explanation as to why I'm so darned impressed by people who make clothing like this:
With its happy blue fishies and its faux Victorian frill, this skirt totally makes me jealous of people with actual talent. Don't you just want to put it on, then twirl around for a long, long time -- or possibly skip through a meadow? Ooh, or you could drink tea in it. Okay, clearly I was deprived of a girly childhood and I'm still making up for it, but still: OMG.
