Elona 4/25/08Hey, Lisa--that's one pretty dress! You look as though you feel good in it, too. Your note about the darted facing is interesting; I wasn't aware of that feature.

CynthiaSue 4/26/08way to pull off a very chic look!

Athene 4/26/08This is a sleek and sexy look. I love it.

Darla in PA 4/26/08Beautiful dress!

Peggy L 4/26/08Lisa - that style looks really nice on you. Nice printed slinky which is hard to find.

CarolynGM 4/26/08Great look for you. Very interesting description of the darted facing.
* * *
Michelle T 4/26/08Love that fabric. Looks great.

CSM--Carla 4/26/08Another winner for you Lisa! Looks great! You have also smashed the myth (were you aware of this?--it has been discussed on the boards several times) that this dress should not be made with slinky because of the difficulty of sewing the dart forming the neckline--did you have any trouble with this one? I love this dress pattern also...now need to make it with the slinky. Thanks again. Carla

pterion 4/26/08Lovely dress, Lisa. It's very flattering and the fabric is to die for.
* * *
Lisa Laree 4/26/08No, I missed the 'don't sew it w/slinky' discussion! Guess that's good...LOL...anyway, this is not *quite* as stretchy as regular slinky; I think the print stabilizes it a bit. But I sewed the dart by starting in the middle and sewing out to the point, then turning the work and repeating on the other side, and I used a narrow zig-zag for construction. Maybe that helped?

Annette1 4/26/08Wow, you look like a million bucks in this dress!! Very SLINKY -- ha! :o)

Annika 4/27/08Oo-la-la! :) Beautiful dress!

Doris Stewart 4/28/08Love your dress. Must might push me to finally buy this pattern . . .

lilyofthevalley 4/28/08Just beautiful, in your lovely sparkly slinky. The dress has a wonderful shape and speaking of shapes, enhances your shape. You look very sophisticated and ready for a Dinner Date. Lovely, Lily
