STUNNING! ITA with you that vintage patterns use fabric and cut to create simple yet interesting garments. Thanks for sharing all those lovely photos. And your work is impeccable - you matched all those stripes perfectly - and the tuck front and back is pure genius.

I adore your version of this classic pattern! You look exquisitely captivating and radiant, capturing the essence of 30's glamour intermingled with exciting modern appeal! You did a stellar job of plaid placement, especially at the center giving a chevron effect. Overall, wonderful!

I really really love this dress. It looks great on you too. I agree with you on the fact that this dress is a lot better than any old baby doll dress. Such a timeless design. I enjoyed reading your review. Thanks for all the details! You did an awesome job on matching the plaids. I would have never had the patience that you had! Your review and garment are a big A++++ in my book.

I truly love the look of this dress. Great job with the fabric choice. Looks stunning on you!
5/31/08 8:20 AM
Very cute. I love that silhouette. It is so flattering and your choice of fabric is as stunning as it is classic. You will be able to wear this sundress every year until it disintegrates.

A woman after my own heart :-) You look fabulous in this, just beautiful, classy, elegant, chic... all the lovely things that makes Art Deco timeless.

What a great, sweet and fun dress!
6/2/08 4:50 PM
You look great in it! What a nice dress ... vintage in the best of ways because it has such timeless appeal. I ran into a situation similar to your yoke one where you were expected to stitch it down from the front. I added piping so that I could stitch in the ditch. It doesn't lend itself to every style but I thought it was better than topstitching something down where you don't want topstitching. Back to your dress though, you did a great job on both the dress and the review. Thanks for all the work you put into the review.

I love the simplicity of the this dress. I can see a 'real' woman wearing this on a summer day. you really had to work hard to put this together, and I admire you for going for the true vintage look. I'm trying to narrow down my vote for the vintage contest, and this is certainly one of the top 5. So hard to choose.

I like your solution to the gathers substituting tucks instead and the bias binding gives the dress a much more finished look. Thanks for the information on dealing with vintage patterns. This is an outstanding dress!!
6/3/08 8:06 AM
This is a beautiful dress! It fits you absolutely perfectly and you look fantastic in it. What a lovely job you have done!
6/3/08 3:46 PM
Wonderful dress, great way of pattern placement. Also the fabric looks good with this pattern!

I can just see you playing tennis in this. (!!) It is a lovely dress, great style. Your fabric choice was excellent for showing the design features of this dress.
6/4/08 4:58 PM
very nice work, thanks for the tips on vintage patterns
6/4/08 9:20 PM
Not only a fantastic job, but great interpretation of vintage patterns. Thanks for the vintage web source; I've stashed in my favourites. You've given me courage to really try vintage!

MagpieJen, I'm so impressed with your artistic version of a vintage classic; it's truly beautiful! Your plaid treatment and matching is masterful, and adds the fashion pizzazz to this timeless dress. Thank you for sharing all those photos, in which you are a Vision from the Forties! Truly lovely, Lily
6/5/08 6:35 PM
I love all your photographs, your dress suits you so well. I, too, admire your excellent work with the plaid matching, tucks and chevron at the front. Thank you for your terrific review.
6/5/08 7:32 PM
Beautiful job! Stunning detail, lovely fabric and perfect pattern choice for your figure. The buckle really adds to the vintage style of the dress. Thanks for the link also!
6/7/08 7:58 AM
Great work, especially with the plaid. You look very cute and vintage in your photo. I think you did the right thing with the yoke - I've made a couple of the modern Vintage Vogue reissues with that kind of inset corner and the instructions say to topstitch it in place (which I hate doing too).
6/8/08 3:48 AM
The dress is lovely, and I like the change of direction in the front fabric very much. It brings out the particularity of the pattern.
6/8/08 4:41 AM
Love the dress!
6/9/08 7:40 AM
This is an incredible work of art! Your matching and detailing is extraordinary! The fabric you chose is gorgeous, and so timeless! Enjoy it!

So exciting to see an NRA pattern example-executed so wonderfully-great fabric-design/color choice-including the correct period embellishments>the shell buckle-likely manufactured Mississippi/adjoining River area-perhaps Muscatine Iowa.. Did you know one of the NRA-National Recovery Act-programs manufactured buttons? I have a large wood button with NRA embossed on the back.. Lots of history details are found by looking at the back..or in the case of garments-turning them inside-out. Chris-the ButtonLady
