Aunt Gail said... Your use of pictures to further explain your commentary on the pattern was pretty wonderful :) Especially a nice job with the necklines. Disappointing fabric is a big time downer. Your pix look nice of the green material but the color DOES look a bit electric. 7/17/08 2:41 PM
Amber in Norfolk said... Really cute dresses! Yeah I'm not feelin' that green fabric either. 7/17/08 3:43 PM
Karen6790 said... I really like the gray jumper version - it's the perfect combination of something you can wear with lots of colors but that somehow isn't boring. I like the gathers. And I want your red shoes. 7/17/08 4:50 PM
Gelbean said... Your dresses are very cute. I'm looking forward to seeing the dress you make with the *right* fabric. As for these two, I think they are both cute and you should wear them proudly. 7/17/08 7:53 PM
CarolynGM said... Well, luckily the gray one looks pretty darn cute as a jumper.The altered pattern has a lot of potential for you -- I'm looking forward to seeing the newest one. 7/17/08 8:56 PM
Natasha B said... I think the grey version as a junper is really cute. This pattern is still looking good. 7/17/08 9:35 PM
Kitty Couture said... Super helfpful review, Trena. Even the green one looks adorable, no matter how horrid the fabric may be IRL. I like how you paired it with dark blue. I think both versions look super cute! 7/18/08 3:31 AM
cindyann said... So glad you reviewed this. It's one of those patterns I have in my stash but haven't used. Actually love both versions. 7/18/08 9:23 AM
born2bead said... Great detailed review and I love your version with the twisted straps. Really does something for it since the design is simple and clean. Nice job! 7/30/08 10:06 AM
gatorgirl4325 said... Beautiful white dress - it fits perfectly and you look fabulous in it! 7/30/08 10:20 AM
crisford said... The white one looks so cute and comfy. White always seems to last through the trends, too. Great job on your fitting! 7/30/08 10:54 AM
Puppy said... I really didn't read the whole review because I'm past the stage where I can wear such things, BUT, IF I were younger and less fleshy, I would WANT THAT DRESS. It has that great combination of simplicity and great lines. I just love it. You gotta be proud of this little number! 7/30/08 11:04 AM
Marji said... Fabulously CUTE! Love what you did with the straps, and the little cartridge pleats at the bodice are pure inspiration to reduce the bulk there.

maryfrana said... If I were a lot younger and thinner and more adventurous I would be making this dress right now. Love the straps, love it in white. Fabulous. 7/30/08 11:54 AM
Karen6790 said... Okay, this is what should be on the pattern envelope. I love all the extra work you put into it - when you get inspired, you really go to it. Absolutely gorgeous. 7/30/08 1:18 PM
Sherril Miller said... Trina, you've done a fantastic job on that dress. It's so beautiful on on you. Aren't you ready to move up a skill level yet? 7/30/08 2:01 PM

RobinMCPA said... Fabulous!! I liked reading about the changes you made to it. It's such a good feeling when you finally tweak a pattern to make it fit just right - my contest entry also is one I had to play with a bit to get right. This dress looks GREAT on you and now I need to put this pattern back on my to-sew list after seeing yours. I want one! 7/31/08 7:57 AM
Big Dog said... Wow, love it! The knotted straps look great, what a clever idea. You do look like a goddess in that dress. 7/31/08 9:21 AM
Athene said... Love your version - you look lovely - I can understand why you feel like a Greek Godess in it - very nice to see all the great pictures. 7/31/08 6:13 PM
