wvsher 3/31/08Pretty dress with a great fit. Thanks for the review!

Irene Q 3/31/08It looks great on you! I vote for more buttons - they add a nice vertical line. The last BWOF shirt I made had 12 darts - without a lining. :-)
* * *
Birgitte 3/31/08Hey girlfriend, love your song! And about the dress; the fit looks great, and I love your smiley face (it's so good to have met you- you're such a wonderful and 'real' person) Wear this dress with pride and make another one in a fabric that makes you sing (but not the dart song :0) Pucci print maybe?
* * *
Sherril Miller 3/31/08I think you look sassy in your cute new polka dot dress. How fab was that trim store? Use more buttons if you've got 'em.
* * *
Athene 3/31/08The fit is great and I agree - you look sassy.
* * *
Cathy Loves Fabric 3/31/08I love the lines of this dress but sorry you were disappointed with the print. Thanks for the review.

Em's Summer 4/1/08That dress looks really nice on you!

lilyofthevalley 4/1/08Michelle, excellent review for your beautiful dress. I too am a sucker for polka dots, and think they look fab with this dress. Your fit's great and it's quite flattering to you. Lovely, Lily
* * *
Kathy Sa 4/1/08It is flattering for you and it looks good in that fabric. In the end we have to wear what speaks about us so I understand the conflict. Thanks for the detailed review and sharing your hard learned warnings. We need those in a review.

jbrewer 4/1/08Wow! What a well-fitting dress! Congratulations, the darts paid off.
* * *
Heatherrique 4/1/08Wow! Very sharp dress! You look absolutely sizzling and stunning in this, Michelle!
* * *
Stephenie 4/1/08Congrats on perservering through all of those darts!!! I hate sewing darts! Love your fabric. This dress looks fabulous on you!
* * *
Winifred 4/1/08Lovely dress ! Very surprised about the bust darts. I remember making my maternity dresses ( A long time ago !) with darts pressed up. I understood at that time that only maternity clothes used that method. I wonder if thats changed - a bit worrying 'cos I would surely miss it till it was too late I expect !! Thanks for the review.
* * *
ChristineX 4/2/08I like that it accents your curves, like you stated. I'm a sucker for polka dots too. Great review and nice jingle!!
* * *
Deepika 4/7/08Michelle, I love the dress! Its so springy and feminine. Ah.. can't wait for summer here in new england. Your song reminded me of PR weekend. Oh what fun we had.
* * *
Caitycat 5/14/08Thanks for that review - looking forward to trying this myself, even WITH all those darts!
