carolineG 4/21/09I love your styling in the photo. the dress is beautiful and the leggings are great!

Kay Y 4/21/09I can see why you totally love this dress! It is gorgeous on you. Slow to the party as usual, I'm now working on my version of this (the top, not the dress).
* * *
pterion 4/21/09Very cute dress! The leggings look perfect with it.
* * *
PopoAgie 4/21/09That's adorable. I had seen this photo in your online photos and looked forward to the review. Now, does the lining make it hot? In Texas, it seems it would be too hot, but I totally get the part about smoothing out the bumps too!

michellep74 4/21/09Really cute! Thanks for the tip about the underlining--I've wondered if this would work for some of my clingier jerseys.
* * *
Beek 4/21/09Thanks for such a great review. I have to psyche myself up to make/wear a knit T-shirt dress, but yours is adorable. It is very flattering without looking cheap.
* * *
Izzie 4/21/09Adorable! I love your fabric choice, and the lacey leggings are perfect!
* * *
Joan1954 4/21/09This dress is so cute! It looks great on you. :) (Pleading ignorance: what exactly is a "stay"?)
* * *
Leora 4/21/09Comfy yet stylish outfit, the print is so pretty!
* * *
Sic 4/21/09Very cute dress!
* * *
Kellie R. 4/21/09Cute dress! I had to chuckle when you described how the instructions wrote out understitching! LOL You look great in this!
* * *
Christas 4/21/09I love this as a dress! It looks super cute!
* * *
velosewer 4/21/09Your instructions are really helpful. The dress looks great and fits you well too.
* * *
yoshimi 4/21/09Very pretty dress! Thanks for the great review.
* * *
Nancy K 4/21/09It looks great on you and I love how you styled it. Sometimes the translation leaves a great deal to be desired at BWOF. The print is perfect for this dress.
* * *
JoanneM 4/21/09This looks lovely. How about that pattern eh? What a debacle but worth the persistence! Well done,you tackled the Latin T/dress!
* * *
Elke 4/21/09Great looking dress ... pretty fabric choice!
* * *
Heatherrique 4/21/09Such an eyecatchingly gorgeous dress! You look so fun and chic!
* * *
AnneMarie60 4/21/09Very flattering on you, but your sewn garments always are! Great job and excellent review!
* * *
Caroleleah 4/22/09Excellent choice for flattering your figure type! The yoke and pouf sleeves create the perfect balance!!
* * *
RobinMCPA 4/22/09Wow, what a great review! The dress is really flattering and I would never guess there even *are* any lumps or bumps under there!
* * *
ryan's mom 4/22/09You are right--super cute! And that's a great assessment on fit. You wear this style VERY well, girlfriend!
