Wow - This is the first review for this pattern - how exciting I bought this pattern after being inspired by Emma Stone's dress at the 2012 Oscars. I loved the look of the high neck and the knee length skirt (View B). The directions seemed easy enough to follow, however I directly attached the lining instead of using bias tape. I also completely redid the skirt - the original one was kind of limp and flat, so I added a much fuller gathered skirt. With a belt, this dress is everything I hoped it would be! My favorite part is the four buttons on the back of the collar. To read more, and see more pictures visit my blog post: The "All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go" Dress
