Flying Seamstress said... Oh, I do love the style lines and pleats on this dress! Very, very flattering on you so do make another. :) 6/26/09 12:15 PM

I just found the old Dick Van Dyke shows on Netflix. Laura Petre wore the most beautiful dresses and slacks. Too bad it's in B/W. 6/26/09 12:17 PM

CynthiaSue said... the color really "pops" on you!! looks great. Linen is a pain sometimes!! It lets me down more often than not. Wear it often this summer though! 6/26/09 2:51 PM
feldmanTcat said... I am so glad you made this - this was one of the first patterns I bought and I am afraid to tackle it, as those pleats look scary. Love the look, great job, PLEASE make it again so we can see more. This looks great and I agree, a very stiff firm fabric is key. 6/26/09 4:11 PM
michellep74 said... I think this looks great on you--you really should wear it, if for nothing other than the color. The fit looks fine. 6/26/09 4:18 PM
Riesie said... I think this looks terrific on you - both the dress and the color, which is SUPER! And the weird thing is, I am pretty sure I made this dress when I was a teenager, LOL!! Now I am going to have to troll through my mom's old photo albums to see if I'm right. 6/26/09 4:41 PM

Annette1 said... GREAT dress, Andrea. I too love that waistline treatment, as well as the COLOR of your fabric. AND I don't think it looks too big either! :o) 6/26/09 10:33 PM

lynda828 said... Fantastic pattern, I agree with Sherill Miller I would love to see the neckline lowered a little for a modern twist. The fit is perfect and loooove the colour on you - perfect 6/27/09 6:58 AM
