Barbara V said... Beautiful bridesmaid dress! I'm glad your daughter likes it as much as you and I agree that the style would make a very cute casual dress too. So nice that you have the fitting issues resolved. And... the side zipper looks perfectly installed. Great work! 1/20/11 5:16 PM
SewWil said... Very pretty dress. I agree the dress would be nice in a casual fabric. 1/20/11 10:33 PM
ChristmasHills said... Lovely work. That looks like a very useful pattern with the other completly different top options as well. 1/21/11 0:58 AM
Annette1 said... BEAUTIFUL! I too love that it's the matte side of the fabric (much classier, I think). :o) As for the zipper, WHAT ZIPPER? Heh-heh-heh. 1/23/11 9:47 AM
Christas said... Nice dress, Ruth! Your side zip, and the fit of the dress on your daughter is perfect. Very nice sewing, as always!!! :-) 2/1/11 11:55 AM
Picnicfan said... A beautiful dress. I agree about the side zipper - you've sewn it in perfectly. I have a pattern with a side zipper, so maybe now I'll try it. 2/16/11 2:28 AM
newmama said... What a beautiful dress! Your daughter looks lovely. The color is gorgeous, and I'm a fan of the "wrong" side of the satin as well. Thank you for this review. 2/16/11 9:36 AM
MamaSewing said... I love the color of the dress as well, and the neckline looks perfect! Well done! 2/16/11 5:20 PM
FreyaStark said... Two very pretty dresses, and both beautifully made. I love the print fabric, too. 5/4/11 3:12 AM
Mushywear said... Both versions are beautiful. I really love the casual gauzy fabric for summers. Your daughter looks lovely in both! 5/4/11 3:23 AM
Gelbean said... Both dresses are beautiful! It's great when you can use one pattern to create two completely different looks, one formal and one casual, just by fabric choice. 5/4/11 8:33 AM
Christas said... Ooooh, I love the second version, too! That fabric gives it a whole different look. Ellen looks so pretty! Very nice sewing. 5/4/11 8:40 AM
