| Nancywin | 9/24/06 | Thanks for all the details. I have this pattern and some fabric to make it. I think I better make a muslin first! |

| elizajo | 9/24/06 | Beautiful dress! Now that it qualifies as a TNT, you can make several more. Somehow that makes up for taking the time to make mulitple muslins. |

| Kathi Rank | 9/24/06 | Boy, I admire your ability to keep swinging until you hit one out of the park....I'm sure I would have thrown in the towel at muslin #3 (or maybe #2)....you worked really hard for that dress....beautiful result. |

| SarahWeb | 9/25/06 | It's beautiful! Now that I read all you've gone through with this pattern, I think maybe I might have a chance at success with it if I keep your review, and other reviews of it, close at hand. Thanks for sharing your experience. |

| Leslie Bonner | 9/25/06 | Beautiful dress and kudos for perservering. Love the fabric choice especially since I would have never thought it would look so great. |

| clin | 9/25/06 | OK - you have me convinced I should go back and try and try again - your dress looks wonderful. My first attempt was not a good fit and as you so correctly said - I looked frumpish and matronly - it's hanging around somewhere so one day I will get back to it and see if I can come up with a dress that looks as nice as yours - then I would be satisfied, |

| Patti B | 9/25/06 | Debbie, this is a lovely non-matronly dress on you. Glad you stuck with it. It's a favorite of mine but I don't think I would have lasted through so many iterations; congrats on persistence! |

| Georgene | 9/26/06 | It looks really good. I do hope you will make a few more now that you have it worked out. Turn it into a tunic? ditch the skirt, make the top longer, use it as a good base for tops? slit it down the front and make a swinging duster coat....?? |

| Lhan | 9/26/06 | This is the nicest version of this dress I have seen. And one of the best reviews. Thanks for going into so much detail, it really helps, and I admire your patience. No way I would have made 6 versions of a dress (all that lovely fabric ....!!). The final product certainly does demonstrate the value of good fit. |

| Carrabeg | 2/13/08 | Thank you so much for all your information, it was fun to read, I am still sitting here laughing at you having to cut it off. I expereniced this once in a dress store when the clerk insisted the garment would fit, I was in a panic in the change room, finally I asked for help to have it ripped off me.
Once again thanks for all the details which I will consider as I make this dress |
