| nicegirl | 6/2/09 | Very pretty! I don't know what hem finishes are used on high end RTW knits, but on medium end it is often a coverstitch or even just a raw edge. |

| CypGrl | 6/2/09 | Bet that this review will help sell a ~lot~ of Simplicity 3503s. Hope they are on sale somewhere this week -- or that I already have it in stash -- even better! Just checked -- it is 3502 that I have. Oh so close... |

| Aixoise | 6/2/09 | Who cares what they call it - you're a knockout in that dress! Very fresh and pretty. |

| MelissaB in WA | 6/2/09 | That turned out beautifullly! I had that pattern in my cart the other day and remembered our "no big 4" rule and put it back - now I'm mad I did. You look gorgeous - happy anniversary! :-) |

| Leslie in Austin | 6/2/09 | Maybe he figures it doesn't matter what he looks like b/c no one will even notice him when you're on his arm. Fab-u-lous. |

| bdeger | 6/2/09 | You look fabulous! Towny dress? I hadn't heard that term. Of course, by the time I get around to the idea of a Towny / Maxi dress in my wardrobe, the trend itself be be passe! |

| Amanda S. | 6/2/09 | Great dress, Cindy. I love the maxi trend. When I will get around to it, I'm not sure. Have you ever used clear thread? I've seen it but not tried it. Maybe you could use that for future hems and it wouldn't show since it's clear. |

| Nancywin | 6/2/09 | This looks great, Cindy. Definitely worth your late night sewing spree! |

| Deepika | 6/2/09 | Cindy, this dress is smashing on you! |

| Allie in Hong Kong | 6/3/09 | This looks absolutely fantastic on you. Usually things I sew at 2am are disasters, clearly this is not the case for you! |

| Christina Sonja | 6/3/09 | Look at you! You are such a California girl in that hot dress (I still call it a maxi dress as I haven't heard of towny dress - I'm probably behind). Hope you had a great trip :) |

| Leora | 6/3/09 | Very pretty! |

| jaeng | 6/3/09 | Another fabulous dress from this pattern. I juse saw Erica B.'s version.
Both of you look great and make me want a maxi dress instantly. |

| LindsayT | 6/3/09 | Très glam, you! On better RTW hems, it's anything goes these days. Some designers show no hem at all with knits, just a raw edge. Works for me! |

| Markie1 | 6/3/09 | Cindy-You look gorgeous in that dress! Now I have to make it, don't I? Your review was so helpful, I will be referring to it again soon! |

| 2BSewing | 6/3/09 | Gorgeous! Perfect fabric and fit. This pattern was made for you. What a coincidence that I happen to have this pattern out on my SM table. Thank you for the sizing and elastic tips. :) |

| Barbara V | 6/3/09 | You look great in your "towny/maxi" dress. I love it. Beautiful fabric. Happy Anniversary! |

| Mahler | 6/3/09 | Your husband most feel so proud to walk around with a gorgeously dress and beautiful woman. This dress is amazing on you. Happy anniversary! |

| Cidell | 6/3/09 | I've also heard 'goddess'. You look all beachy and sexy! I'm so glad it worked well for you. And you're right, it's a good idea to use a wider strip of elastic. GREAT job!! Woo hoo! |

| Kathi Rank | 6/3/09 | Sounds like you made good use of the experience of others and wound up with a great looking dress.....we have to love PR! Thanks for the review. |

| Sara The Slayer | 6/5/09 | You are WEARIN that dress. I love it. I am about to sew it, was looking for tips. A lot said it was too big...but you said it sizes true on top but you did smallen it in the back...thanks for the detail on that. |
| * * * |
| RobinMCPA | 6/10/09 | Love how this looks on you!!! This is on my list of things to sew very soon, so I especially appreciate the info on the back gaposis!! I experienced that recently on S2580 - next time I will cut the back piece a size smaller. |
| * * * |
| RobinMCPA | 6/10/09 | Forgot to say, I've added you to my fave reviewers list - and I have not heard of that "towny dress" thing. And on the knits, I see at least medium end knits always finished with coverstitch. Which is why I LOVE my Janome 900CP, which I use for everything. |

| whirrclunk | 6/11/09 | What a great dress! And such a good fit! |

| Dei | 6/28/09 | How perfect is this dress on you. Excellent review. |
| * * * |
| selvage | 7/13/09 | very pretty dress! Looks like--or better than--expensive ones I've seen and tried on in stores. I've use my sewing machine's blind hem stitch on slinky knit, btw, and it works beautifully. |

| val from oz | 7/25/09 | Looking gorgeous! Another winner for you and for this pattern. |
