Riordan said... Lovely suit--very shapely. The flounces of the jacket go beautifully with the flare of the skirt--great combination of patterns! 5/17/06 7:08 PM
Penny Carlson said... It's beautiful! I made this a few months ago, same view, and although I had major issues due to using a stretch woven (interfaced parts didn't stretch, uninterfaced parts did), I also find it to be a very flattering design. I got a lot of compliments on it. 5/17/06 7:14 PM

dreamdesigner said... Debe,
Love this outfit! Just bought a New Look pattern for myself and plan to use a retro turquoise print. I'm being very brave!
PS: I just discovered this site, and read your review of your dd's wedding dress, BOY! can I relate to the bra issue as I recently finished a dress for dd's prom, and she had the same problem. She also had a problem with the adhesive not sticking, and we ALSO ended up pinning a different bra to her dress! (at dh's suggestion I might add!) 5/17/06 7:56 PM

CarolynD said... This is a gorgeous suit. Perfection! It combines the beautiful sleeve flounce into a tailored look which is very feminine and also very sophisticated, and you did a terrifuc job of making it. Your workmanship looks perfect. 12/5/06 8:18 PM
