Margaret said... Nice pattern, fabric, and dress! I
think diagonally-patterned fabrics are
interesting and wish there were lots
more patterns for them. Another
alternative to facings would be to use
bindings... you've probably thought of
that too. 2/6/03 4:16 PM

Neefer said... My fabric was a polyester slinky, so it had a LOT of stretch, like 100%. I found the pattern to be true to size. 2/22/03 10:53 PM
KathleenS said... My knit has about 35% crosswise stretch - do you think I should go up a size, or do you think this isn't the pattern for me? 2/23/03 6:15 AM
Neefer said... The "pick-a-knit rule" on the envelope calls for 50% (4 inches stretching to 6 inches), so 35% stretch isn't enough. 2/23/03 9:32 PM
KathleenS said... Oh what a shame. Thanks for your help Jennifer. 2/24/03 6:24 AM
