morzel said... Aah, another great version of this. This is a wonderful dress on you! Looks like it is very versatile, as it can be dressed up or down. 5/19/09 2:05 AM
paolag said... I have been wanting to make this dress for ages, but have been waiting for my skills to catch up. I think I'm nearly there, so I will give this one a crack soon. Looks great on you, and the accessories set it off perfectly. 5/19/09 2:23 AM
Ann Smith said... What a great dress! I love the color on you plus the silk noil choice of fabric. 5/19/09 3:08 AM
Sewnsewmom said... Very pretty. Great color too. 5/19/09 3:15 AM
QuiltSewSewSue said... Thank you for the great review. I am glad I am not the only one who can't work out which way to fold the pleats. I think I get it wrong every time! Your dress is lovely! 5/19/09 6:55 AM
graustark said... What a beautiful dress! It looks both comfortable and the fit is great. I love the elastic on the sides. And thanks for posting the collar tutorial.
I am working on a shirtdress from the most recent issue of BWOF and FWIW, the directions pleats should fold are marked on this pattern. 5/19/09 8:12 AM

Sallygirl said... Love this dress in red! I will have to study the collar tutorial just in case I make this a third time. Just for future reference, I folded each of the 2 outside pleats toward the center. The two inside pleats meet in the center. At least that's what I read the markings to say and so that's how I did it. :) 5/19/09 9:35 AM
Kelly D. said... As always, you've made a fabulous dress and it looks smashing on you. A collar on a stand is my favorite detail on a shirt or dress. Thanks for the link to the tutorial. 5/19/09 9:42 AM
crisford said... Your dress is beautiful and fits you very well. To know that it is made of silk bumps it up a few more levels, too. 5/19/09 11:21 AM
EleanorSews said... So nice! Love your choice of soil noil. This looks great on you. The classic simplicity of a shirtwaist given a whole new look. BTW, I like your photos better than the BWOF image.... 5/19/09 11:44 AM

DorothyK said... This is a really nice dress. You look fabulous in it. It's nice to have a dress that's so comfortable. I like the waistline. I love your choice of fabric. :) 5/19/09 12:50 PM
sew2little said... Barbara--this dress looks wonderful on you and gives me an object lesson. I almost never choose a solid, but I think this looks so chic in the fabric you chose. So I need a new mantra when I go fabric shopping: solids, solids, solids.

Mahler said... I love red dresses and yours has just the perfect intensity of colour. This is a great pattern, I love that style on you. Plus those sandals seam wonderful. This is a great look, very actual. Another great silk garment in your wardrobe. I still think about the silk safari out fit ... I am jealous of it ;-) I think of that dress as well. Thank you for sharing you creations. They are wonderful. 5/19/09 4:42 PM
