Wow!! That would have taken me weeks (if ever) to complete. You make the most amazing things, and in such good time!!! Absolutely, amazingly, completely beautiful.

You look divine! Wow, what a dress!

LauraMae, this is so beautiful! Congratulations on such a gorgeous creation.

Wow!! I am always interested in your projects and wonder "Where does she go to wear such gorgeous clothes?" My lifestyle is a bit ...rural... :-) Fantastic dress!

The sleeves and neckline on this dress are just so gorgeous - the fabric colour really suits you too. Do you happen to use horsehair braid at all in your skirt hem?
10/4/11 9:52 PM
(Do = Did!) I see from your blog that you did - can I ask what width? I'm planning to use it in a skirt similar to yours and the moment and am flummoxed over which width to choose!

Gorgeous! The fabrics you used for this dress are amazing.

Wow, wow, wow. That says it all really.

Thank you all for your lovely comments! Poppykettle: I used 6" horsehair braid purchased from Vogue Fabrics. I have used 1/2" and 1" previously, and the 6" really made all the difference for me (although, I suppose, it would depend on the look you are going for). Also, I am wearing two fluffy petticoats as well to create the extreme silhouette.

All your efforts were well worth it. Your dress is just gorgeous!

Heaps of drama in the gown!The neckline is pure glamor, which generally means hard to wear and needs all those specific undergarments! Wow, look at the effect when it all lines up!
10/5/11 10:50 AM
Stunning!!! Love your fabric selection.
10/5/11 4:05 PM
That is a stunning dress!!! And you wear it well. Great job!

You look like you stepped off the cover of a vintage Vogue magazine! Fabulous job. I hope you have an event to show this off - it's so gorgeous!
10/5/11 7:20 PM
You are amazing! How can you accomplish so much sewing...it seems that you feature major outfits that you've sewn every week.
10/5/11 8:23 PM
You look like a vintage Vogue cover come to life! The dress is a masterpiece. Please, tell us about the event to which you wore it. The colour is lovely on you. Did the pattern say what year the design is from? I'm guessing early 'fifties. The New Look shape was so feminine.

That is an amazing dress, and your color choice makes it absolutely perfect - flattering on you and yet perfectly true to the period. Beautiful work.

Fabulous! A very impressive effort. I love the colour.

Lovely vintage dress, beautifully designed and crafted! I'm sure Ceil Chapman would be proud (my uncle was her head cutter and brother-in-law). By the way, I am also one of the finalists in the Threads Contest (Italian Chic by nancynancy). It would be wonderful if the winner came from the Pattern Review community.

Stunning. You look beautiful in this. The colour and the style. I love how it looks from the back as well. Like Marec, I wonder where you wear these dresses? You would/will certainly make an entrance.
11/15/11 7:17 PM
Very impressive workmanship and just beautiful on you. Love the color and embellishment.
11/15/11 7:37 PM
This is the essence of vintage glamour!!! Love love love the photo shoot. What a beautiful creation :)
11/15/11 8:55 PM
Nancy – Congrats to you! And how fantastic to be so closely connected to Ceil Chapman – do you have any original gowns or sketches? I love each and every Ceil Chapman design I have ever seen and cannot imagine being a part of creating them!

My uncle, was the brother of Samuel Chapman, Ceil Chapman's first husband, whom she divorced before I was born, so I unfortunately never got to meet Ceil at family functions. But my uncle continued to work for Ceil until she retired, and he regularly brought my grandmother remnants of the most beautiful fabrics. One of my favorite early childhood memories is of going through piles of the most extravagant laces and silks with my grandmother so that I could choose the perfect combination for my Barbie doll's "Ceil Chapman" wedding gown which Grandma made for me as a birthday present. But it was only when I began sewing a few years ago that I began to appreciate Ceil Chapman's role as a leading American fashion designer of the postwar period.
