	Stitch Wench said... I saw your blog, and I think the buttons look very lovely on this dress and you did a good job. If you work with a light batiste in the future, you may double the skirt if you want no see through. 7/1/07 9:44 PM

	Tany said... Your dress is precious! Thank you for this very helpful review! (and I will try to find that book!) 7/2/07 4:08 AM
	madhatter said... Thank you, ladies! FYI: The book is available at yesasia.com or amazon.jp. Both sell and ship worldwide. Any Kinokuniya bookstores will have this or order it for you :) Stitch Wench - Thanks for the hint. Indeed I thought about doubling the skirt first, but then went with the "normal" lining fabric, as the outside fabric tends to "climb up" whatever you wear underneath ;) 7/2/07 6:05 AM
	Hilary said... Lovely!! Your dress is so cute, and looks great on you. I love the ruffles, they are just enough without being too frilly. Great review! 7/2/07 6:49 AM

	MissCelie said... I need to get online and beat all the other PR people to this book. I've gots to get it. This dress is wonderful! 7/2/07 11:28 PM
	jhansby said... I live in Japan and have just discovered other books by this author....I'm going to start buying them up!! Gorgeous dress!! Do you have any problems adjusting the patterns to fit "non-Japanese" sized bodies? 7/3/07 6:48 AM
	madhatter said... very kind of you all :) jhansby - i don't need to adjust the patterns. i'm very small and relatively "flat", so i don't have issues with the fitting. for everyone taller than me (5'3"), with more bust than "barely a B-cup" etc. a lot of alteration will be needed. anyways - it's do-able! 7/3/07 4:00 PM
