curves 8/19/08Your dress is really cute on you! Just love it. Really enjoyed your slid show. Paris is wonderful!
* * *
DorothyK 8/19/08Absolutely adorable. I think it looks great on you. Your belly is perfect!

Meggie LuLu 8/19/08What a CUTE dress!!!! I just LOVE it!!!! I want one!!!!

Izzie 8/19/08That dress is adorable on you! Great frankenpattern too.

mikkim 8/19/08I think your dress does look nice on you--it's really adorable
* * *
wreninrome 8/19/08i'm really confused by this plus-sized...you look tiny!
* * *
dbsewer 8/19/08I think the dress looks really cute on you. I'm sure you got many looks in Paris - the good kind. What do you mean about your belly? I can barely see it.
* * *
Karen M M 8/19/08This dress is very cute. I am jealous that you got to go to Paris. Plus other commenters are right. You are too hard on yourself.
* * *
Mufffet 8/19/08Cute!Colors great as usual :)
* * *
AnneM 8/19/08Cute dress. It is a nice style, and it certainly looks fine on you (although I agree, other styles are even better, but it is certainly very wearable!). Good job on 'scaling' the pattern to non-plus size.
* * *
Cidell 8/19/08You are so smart! Way to make something work. Me likey that fabric too.
* * *
Heatherrique 8/19/08Eyecatching and distintively dashing, NiceGirl! Great job!
* * *
Heatherrique 8/19/08double post!

Dee2 8/19/08This is a beautiful dress & I think you look great in it. Looks like you had a wonderful trip too.
* * *
Karen6790 8/20/08I was beginning to think I had hallucinated that dress! Still love the twist collar and the fabric, and of course you are way too hard on yourself - there's no way that dress accentuates your belly. No. Way.
* * *
Irene Q 8/20/08I love what you did with this pattern!! Have you tried letting out the princess seams a little in front? Since you're wearing a plus size dress :-) you should do what we do - leave the fabric a little loose so it just skims the curves without clinging. Not that I think you need any camouflage, but it might make you feel more comfortable.

Kellie R. 8/20/08I think this style is very good on you!!! I like the colors and your work is great, as usual!
