lamstu said... I love your fabric and I thought the dress looked quite pretty, then I read the review. You could probably cut a skirt that you might wear more often. Thanks for the review! 2/8/10 9:00 AM
crazygrad said... I think it looks good on you in the pic. But if you're not comfortable in it, I hope you can reuse the fabric for something else. It really looks like a nice fabric for the right project! 2/8/10 10:37 AM

I had to do that same staggered-leg red carpet pose to get a flattering picture, but you can't walk around like that all day! Still, I think v-neck bodice that you did is flattering enough to try to find a better skirt option. I may just lengthen the band to the waist to get more of an hour glass shape. 2/8/10 10:56 AM

French.Seam said... thanks for the comments: the extended shoulder is nice.
I really had to take a LOT of photos to find one that didn't make me look 6 months pregnant

French.Seam said... Thanks for the positive comments, but I will never wear it - I've put it on eBay (I can't clutter up my house with unworn clothes) 2/13/10 1:21 AM
