KensingtonCrab said... You look so fantastic! You need to be taken out and shown off! Glad to hear it is bra friendly and easy to sew up. 7/13/11 4:53 PM
MNBarb said... If I looked this good in a dress I'd make at least 3 more. Everything about this really works for you. How wonderful when it all comes together. 7/13/11 5:45 PM
Sue Parrott said... Wow, that is a great dress! Nice work! 7/13/11 6:35 PM
Riesie said... Great color on you! 7/13/11 6:41 PM
AnneMarie60 said... Wow! Stunning on you. Great idea to make the straps wider. 7/13/11 8:26 PM
Kim12469 said... This is such a great shape on you. I really need to buy this pattern. 7/13/11 8:43 PM
Aroura said... This is such a gorgeous dress! It really accentuates your figure in all the right places. And that fabric is beautiful, the blue really does stand out. 7/13/11 10:15 PM
cmcarr said... Beautiful dress and fit. 7/13/11 10:40 PM

OlindaM said... Really glamorous, and such neat sewing too! 7/20/11 8:55 AM
marec said... These two views are just perfect for the OPML contest. Your work is superb and shows that just changing the fabric will take a pattern from day to evening. Nice work! 7/20/11 11:03 AM
TracyKM said... I made two versions of this dress 4 years ago, same sort of idea--one was rayon and summery, one was a flocked taffeta for a Christmas party. But it was before I understood about needing a FBA so they didn't fit right. Then I tried it again last summer, but I still didn't get a good outcome. Do you have any tips you can share to fit a busty lady? Your's looks awesome and fits very well without showing too much!

Elizabeth made this said... You look fabulous! It's nice to find undergarment friendly patterns. Strapless is a 4 letter word imo! ;) 7/20/11 7:36 PM
Norsecross said... I really like your choices of fabrics. The sturdiness of the brocade being snug with no pulling just looks fabulous. The drape falling away from the legs is so evening appropriate and fetching!
The summery version with flats, perfection! Good pattern, good visualization too! 7/21/11 1:38 AM
nicegirl said... Love the way this looks so different in the day and evening fabrics! Very flattering and a great fit. 7/21/11 10:31 AM
ElizabethDee said... Fabulous work choosing your fabrics (and of course, in sewing them up)! They are so different but you make such splendid use of both. I have the VW fabric stashed and hope to use it half as well as you have. What great dresses! 7/31/11 5:22 PM
