didda 5/7/07i likeit. real nice color on you. i wouldn't have given this pattern a second thought, but seeing it made up insteadof just a sketch, well, i'm going to have to consider that now. i like it better sleeveless.

Pinkytoo 5/7/07Gorgeous as always! I saw a pattern similar to this (I think it was a Vogue) but I passed on it, might have to take another look!
* * *
quilter55 5/7/07What a great looking dress and the fit is perfect! Since you left off the sleeves did you have to modify the armhole to get it to fit so nicely??
* * *
hey you 5/7/07I am thrilled to see your review - I have just walked in after shopping in town and bought this exact pattern. Thanks for the great tips.. It looks beautiful on youboth fit and colour. It looks great with sleeves too, I would not have thought to do that. Great job

heatherst 5/7/07Love your dress.

Celeste 5/7/07Beautiful job!! Love the color too! I also love to put wooly nylon in both loopers for stretchy stuff--it makes the seams so resilient.
* * *

* * *

* * *
Tany 5/8/07That's a great dress! Wow!

Irina 5/8/07I love the way the bodice fits so smoothly. The lining and clear elastic were very successful techniques. This is a great pattern for you.
* * *
Jane S 5/8/07What a wonderful color and flattering style on you. I just tried this dress on in a store this weekend and thought, I know this is a pattern somewhere, so thanks for the timely review.

* * *
Kaitlinnegan 1/14/08Wow - reading the update (not very carefully), I assumed the picture was your 18 year old daughter... Are you sure that's you? You do not look old enough to have an 18 year old. :) You look smashing! And the dress is fab too!
* * *
Leora 1/14/08That looks like a nice print. Glad she likes it (finally) after all that work.
* * *
franticfashion 1/14/08Very pretty dress, marji!
* * *
