| Sanibelle | 9/30/07 | Simply stunning! Yours is much prettier than Vogue's pattern photo. The pockets are much nicer without the buttons. |

| Mac426 | 10/24/07 | Absolutely BREATHTAKING! I can't believe this is your first lining and zipper because you look like a cream of the crop seamstress. The lining you chose is breathtaking as well! I'd give anything to be able to sew like that! |
| * * * |
| piggyannie | 10/24/07 | you have done such a beautiful job as a beginner! I don't think you should label yourself as a beginner. Congratulations! :) |

| essareff | 10/24/07 | A beautiful gown. IMO the project is more lovely than the pattern photo. Great selection. Great job |
| * * * |
| jjc | 10/25/07 | excellent job! your choice of fabric is perfect. the dress has body yet, does not look stiff and the fit is just perfect. congrats on a job well done. |
| * * * |
| Liz 66 | 10/26/07 | Wonderful job! I'm curious what kind of machine you have? The stitches look so nice and tight (not to mention your handwork!) |
| * * * |
| fryman | 10/27/07 | Congratulations on this great win!! The lining fabric choice is exciting and, I think, very designer level. How old is this pattern? Where and when did you wear this formal dress? Did you have assistance with the actual sewing? Very very impressive for a biginner. Good for you |
| * * * |
| sewmommylynn | 10/29/07 | Shinta,

| peony rose | 6/8/08 | Hi, what a gorgeous dress, very well done, I adore such dresses. Is it maybe possible to get a copy of this pattern. I looked on the net for this pattern, but alas.
I hope, I didn't offend you with my question?

| CowDoc | 7/1/08 | Wow, how beautiful, and drapes wonderfully. Inspires me to work harder, and spend more hours on the machine!!!! Thanks for sharing. |
