| squirrellypoo | 4/28/08 | Simply stunning! This might be your most perfect blouse ever - the fit, the colour, the execution, everything! And that it works backwards AND forwards is just too good to be true!! I'm not sure which way I like it best... |

| the lazy milliner | 4/28/08 | Terrific. I like how you styled your hair. I never really noticed this pattern. I might have to pick this one now. |

| HawkeMorningStar7 | 4/28/08 | What acute blouse, great deal on the beautiful fabric. I have that pattern and am even more determined to sew it up now. |

| Barbara V | 4/28/08 | Your blouse is so beautiful and looks terrific on you. Very flattering. What a nice opportunity to hear the Met's presentation on fabric folding techniques of the 20's. I loved your hair in bobby pins picture. My Mom used to do that to me - but in the 50's!!!! |

| PhyllisC | 4/28/08 | I love seeing styled project photos! This is another pattern I've been orbiting for years. And you could also make the slip dress knee length instead of adding a peplum to the blouse; it would be really cute and comfortable with the blouse as daywear. |

| Karen6790 | 4/28/08 | Wow. Not sure what I like best - the blouse, the fabric or the pin curls! I love the two pieces together and completely understand why you couldn't wait for the next Vogue sale. |

| AnneM | 4/28/08 | That's useful. Getting dressed in the dark, half asleep, & it doesn't matter if it's frontwards or backwards. Great blouse, and you are adorabe with your pincurls. Make the jacket as well; I love that design. :) |

| ladybegood | 4/28/08 | Stunning! This top has been in my queue for a while, but I knew that it needed the right fabric. Your fabric is perfect for this pattern, and really complements the pattern's vintage details. |

| Jacqui315 | 4/28/08 | I'm in love with that blouse! I hadn't noticed it before. But I just checked my stash and I have that pattern. I guess I must've bought it just because it was from the 30's. |

| cindy-lou | 4/28/08 | Gowachuss! I lurve it too. You have an eye-- and great, great skill! It fits beautifully. And... I fondly remembered my mom rolling her hair in pin curls while reading your review. :) |

| Heatherrique | 4/29/08 | Strikingly glamourous, NiceGirl! I am so glad you brought life to this Vogue pattern reissue....the illustrations do not do this top justice! You definitely captured the essence of 30's Hollywood chic a la the beautiful and talented Ann Sheridan |

| Allie in Hong Kong | 4/29/08 | Love the styling in your photo. I have this pattern aging gracefully in my stash and must have another look at it. Your version is fabulous, I really love it worn back to front too. |

| Debbie Cook | 4/29/08 | I always thought you had that Glam Girl thing going. Now I know it's true! Love the blouse, the backwards/forwards-ness, and the pincurls! |

| AquariJenn | 5/2/08 | Beautiful top. Your hair is perfect! A very flattering style for you. Great job. |

| rjgnz | 5/2/08 | That's a great version. I love this top. Thanks for the throwback too: I'm well chuffed now! (and dying to see if I can wear mine backwards...not sure!). Have fun wearing it : ) |

| Cidell | 5/2/08 | You are so saucy and cute in this! You cannot wear this when we go out. All eyes would be on you! |

| *Linda* | 5/4/08 | What a beautiful blouse and a very flattering look!! |
| * * * |
| shinta | 5/5/08 | Very pretty blouse. Great fit too. I love how it can be reversible. |
| * * * |
| Karen6790 | 5/7/08 | I love the difference fabric can make. You didn't make the same blouse again so soon, you made a completely different one. I like the silk best, but this is really cute. |
| * * * |
| Squeezylemon | 5/7/08 | I think I like the seersucker version even better! (And as for it giving the illusion of a waist, sadly no pattern on this earth could do that for me!) But a wonderful blouse on you Nicegirl! |
| * * * |
| Em's Summer | 5/7/08 | This is a VERY cute top and you look great in it! I think you're a throwback to the '30s! This style suits you perfectly!!! |
| * * * |
| OP Gal | 5/7/08 | Great looking blouse. I have the same seersucker from FM in pink. You've inspired me! |
| * * * |
| clin | 5/8/08 | Really beautiful - I love the silk fabric you used and as usual your great work shows through - you do manage to pull off the vintage look to the max!! |
| * * * |
| lilyofthevalley | 5/8/08 | An absolutely charming component of your Wardrobe. The lines of the seersucker version are so crisp and the dolman sleeve/shoulder brace do make your waist look *miniscule.* You're a vintage Vision in this charming blouse. Lovely, Lily |

| heapha | 6/3/09 | thanks for the review/s. I absolutley adore your work, this is amazing and I am definatly going to give it a shot. |

| thegreatzaza | 11/8/09 | Thanks for your thorough review (including the pix of wearing it backwards, and the bonus pin curl tips!) A really cute look on you. I think I like the way the floaty silk fabric looks with this top. I was also planning on extending the hemline, so your comments on two different lengths will really help also. Awesome job! |
