Great review! I have been itching to get to this one, just havn't found the time. You did a beautiful job and the fabric looks lovely. Can't wait to see it on you.

Your dress is beautiful inside and out. I like the waist band on the cross grain of your lovely fabric.

To "young for you" No way! I think it will look terrific on you. Wish I could perfect the invisible zipper. Great job.

I don't think this is too youthful for you at all. You look great and fresh and summery in this. Make more!

I love both of your dresses but this is my favorite -- looks great and definitely not too young. Save this pattern and make more! Great match of fabric to pattern.

Adorable, summery dress. Great fitting job, too. Yes, you are getting good at this.

Young for you? Absolutely not! It looks perfect on you. I think I need this pattern for a wedding next month and hope I can do half as well. Thanks for your extremely helpful review.

Your dress is really pretty, and fits beautifully. I don't think this style is young for you, I think it looks great. Nicely finished, too! The zipper looks perfect :o)

I agree with other posters....the fit is great, the fabric perfect, the style wonderfully summery without being cutesy, and that, my friend makes it perfect for you. I would love to know how you feel about the dress now - a year or so later!

Britgirl, considering that I now weigh over 40 lbs less, the dress has been donated away. Pretty cool huh?
