You can change the 'beginner' label. You tackled a advanced sewing project and it looks great on you. Congratulations!

You look very pretty in your new dress. The style is lovely on you, fabric is perfect and the fit couldn't be better. Wow!

Your dress looks great and I love the colour! I gather from your comments that you're planning on wearing this without a bra but would you say that the back panel would be in the right place to cover a strapless bra - it looks it? I know the needing a quick and easy project feeling :) I'd better get back to my lining and interlining now :(

Well done ,like joan said you are not a beginner anymore.

Kathleen, a strapless bra would be possible. Since there are 3 layers of fabric in the bodice, see-through is not a problem with this darkish fabric, and I'm skipping it. One of the only advantages of being in the itty-bitty club. By the way, I was quite tired last night when I finished the dress and wrote the review. The fabric is silk crepe from fashion fabrics club, and the lining was peach silk habotai from equilter. I think that they worked well with this pattern. Also, thanks for the positive comments.

Wow, just lovely! The others are right, go ahead and upgrade yourself!

Well done!! I have the same problem with fitted tops and do go down from my regular size quite a bit to get a close fit. I wonder what is the cup size assumed by Big4 for size 10.

Excellent review and great job! I love the color. What kind of fabric did you use for the final project? I feel your desire for a quick/easy project. I'm just finishing up a dress for a client, after completing a wedding veil and a jacket, also for clients. Neither was easy, and they were only marginally fun. I can't wait to sew again for ME! -Ann

That is beautiful!

Great job! Definately promote yourself from beginner. By the way - the Big 4 use a B cup as the standard for their slopers.

Beautiful dress, it looks very nice on you. I agree, you need to upgrade your skill rating.

Thanks for answering my question jlg. I must say, your dress is a great advertisement for the pattern - I'm quite taken with it now, though I never particularly paid any attention when I saw it in the catalogue.

This is a beautiful dress. I want to know what people who make such beautiful clothes do for a living. As a school teacher and a mom, I have absolutely no need for a dress like this. But, then I don't have the body for it anyways! - Sherril

Beautiful dress!

Stunning! Sigh, if only I had the social life that required such finery.

thanks for this review- I plan to make this dress for my maid of honor for my wedding this november! (all my b'maids will be wearing a different dress). thanks so much for reviewing this!

What a great dress you've made. Couldn't ask for a more perfect fit. And, I believe this would be a fine dress to wear for for a casual or fancy function. It would look nice with a lacy knitted shawl.
6/12/03 11:45 PM
that's absolutely lovely...an excellent job - looks like it fits very well, and is very flattering. Now, how do I sign up for the life that has ME needing a dress like that? Oh, and the body to wear it would be nice too...*grin*

What a gorgeous dress, great fit, great result. I am impressed you always chose colors that look so good on you.

I would like to see the picture.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make this come back up top. Here are the photos. I don't know why they disappeared before.
3/7/04 8:52 AM
Thanks for the picture. I just love the dress. Now that I see it, I plan on buying the pattern soon. It would be nice for an evening out. I also think I will try it out of a more casual fabric for a dressed down daytime look.
3/7/04 9:19 AM
Well, I'm glad it came up on top, so I could see it! Oooh, la la. Just perfect for your figure.

Would it be possible for you to post the picture again? I just bought this pattern and want to have an idea of how it will turn out. Thanks.

Emi, I relinked with the picture. Hope this helps. I couldn't find the picture of the back.

You've come a long way from beginner status, since first posting this review! This is encouraging to folks like me, who seem to go one step forward and two steps back in our sewing sometimes! This is a very pretty dress and you achieved a good fit with it.

Another beautiful project and like the other things you sew it looks wonderful on you.
