lmg said... I like this print on you as well. Nice dress. I second the BBW jacket. It's an easy sew and looks great. 4/8/07 10:58 PM
Quesie said... you look soooooo cute. i was nonplussed by the pattern illustration, but now that I've seen you, I want it! 4/9/07 2:44 AM
Jane S said... Thanks for your review. I didn't see this discussion on the boards but I'm a huge fan of these Smplicity patterns...although I do have to make shoulder, back and hip alterations. I'm thinking of making this as a top and your idea of changing that bodice dart to several smaller darts will be one I'm sure to use. 4/9/07 8:33 AM
slanden99 said... Looks great on you. I love the design lines on this dress--wish it came in smaller sizes too 4/9/07 12:24 PM

OP Gal said... You look lovely in your dress. Don't you just love that vintage sewing site for great tips? I'm glad you were able to solve your "pointy dart" problem. I'll keep your solution in mind. 4/9/07 1:29 PM

Sherril Miller said... Great job with those alterations. Dresses look good on you. You are so lucky. I would love to live in dresses inthe summer. 4/9/07 10:25 PM
SewTwin said... The print is great on you, and I find prints hide my (ahem) sewing errors. Speaking from the short person-5.1"; I might suggest dark sandals as the dark boots cut you shorter.This does look like a very light, sitting by the water reading a book type of dress. At least you persevered, and got something useful made, which is more than I can say, lately.... 4/10/07 2:21 AM
