Andreahg said... Wow! I can't believe it called for 6yrds on such a small dress. Your end result looks amazing, clearly worth all the effort! 10/22/09 11:56 AM

@Andreahg - I know, 6yds of fabric for a tiny dress?! I got 1.5yds (60" wide) because the velour was expensive at $12/yd (high quality stuff). I made it work, but 2 or 2.5 would be ideal. 10/22/09 12:21 PM

Leora said... Love it! Too bad the pattern is so hard to work with. I never realized how short her dress was until now!! 10/22/09 12:56 PM
MasoumaRose said... Great job! You got a wonderful result with this costume. It does sound like the pattern is not for amateurs. Where did you get a copy of this pattern? I'm a trekker at heart, so I might try to make this one day. 10/22/09 7:27 PM
Annika said... Many years ago one of the Big 4 published a pattern for the original Star Trek uniforms - men's and women's - and I snatched it up - it's still in my pattern collection somewhere. Sounds like the pattern you had was a total nightmare but you did a fantastic job. Wow! 10/23/09 4:34 PM
