dbsewer said... Wow, this is a really cute sundress. I had this pattern in my hands but didn't buy it and seeing how lovely yours turned out I do regret that decision. Also, NL's sizes seem to run awfully small so I wondered how hard it would be to alter the pattern. Your dress looks great on you and the fabric is a real eye catcher. Thanks for the review and motivation. 7/7/08 2:49 PM

Aunt Gail said... Oh your wonderful summer dress is SOoooo Mary Engelbreit ( the artists) It made me feel good just to look at the photo. I love what the red piping did for the dress. 7/7/08 5:42 PM
Merry G said... I just took a class from a lady I had to trace off of her original pattern...it is very similar to yours but umpire waisted...I just wish it had sleeves...I am going to get this pattern & try it...it looks so nice on you Sew Happy ! 7/7/08 7:03 PM
mary in FL said... Something about this dress makes you look slimmer -- it's not-too-tight-but-just-skimming-the-body, the happy fabric, the happy smile -- it's just GREAT!! 7/7/08 7:46 PM
Aunt Gail said... Second comment: Look at this link http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Whats-New
It shows a dress in the exact type pattern by Oscar De La Renta for a mere $4500 plus. Way to go! 7/7/08 11:11 PM

RobinMCPA said... Thanks for the great review! I'm about your height, so I bought this pattern b/c of your comment about it not needing many petite adjustments! 7/8/08 6:44 AM

Heatherrique said... Michelle, another beautiful version from your TNT pattern! I agree that a change of fabric gives another different look! Very versatile! You did a good job making knock-offs of those designer dresses that I recall seeing in one of those high fashion magazines! I would love you to wear any one of these in person! 8/18/08 8:47 PM
