Jali said... I love your use of this fabric for this pattern. I don't have the issue but can imagine what the sleeve drafting was like. Well done on the hodgepodge of it all! 7/1/09 1:30 AM
FreyaStark said... It's lovely! I like it very much as it is, but it would also be fun in other fabrics, such as fine prints. 7/1/09 4:14 AM

marec said... I have always admired this style of dress. Your dress looks cool, interesting, and not too "girly". It's very nice. 7/1/09 11:11 AM
Kay Y said... Another great effort from MSB! I did not notice this dress in the magazine - another reason to look at it again! I love the print you used, your placement of the border at the tip of the collar is inspired. 7/1/09 12:30 PM
ALY said... I love the way you used the border print on this dress, I actually thought you had added matching sequins or embroidery to match the polka dot fabric. 7/1/09 5:55 PM

Mary Nanna said... I think we all agree: the collar placement was inspired! Very cute dress, perfect for the weather we are having right now. Hope your winter is not too unbearable! 1/31/10 1:06 PM

ZuleikaD said... Very cute on you and a good, detailed review!
As for white linen -- linen is totally washable, so just be sure to shrink the bejeebus out of it before you cut. Hot water wash & hot dry. I might even do it twice if you plan to put the finished item in the dryer instead of line dry. Otherwise, it's just like white cotton -- hot water and a little Oxyclean keeps it nice. Line dry in the sun, if you can. The more you wash it, the softer it gets and the less it wrinkles. 2/21/10 3:44 PM
Mufffet said... You have done so nicely with so many Stylebook patterns, that's for sure! Now that I have seen them, I know that the math will just be way to much for me! I really enjoy your reviews! m:) 5/31/11 0:35 AM
