I have a dress not unlike yours and it needs a little "help" to get that hourglass shape. 5/11/10 4:32 PM
Knitters Delight said... I agree with Jeannine. That's how I have to wear that type of garment, too. It is a gorgeous looking dress - even if just on your dress form. 5/11/10 7:32 PM

Squeezylemon said... Beautiful dress, shame you aren't happy with it! I too have a very "straight up and down" figure, but I tend to go for patterns that look well on someone with a waist - I tend to want to make for the figure I WISH I had rather than the one I do have!!! But it is still a fabulous dress, congratulations! 5/12/10 8:41 AM
