I always love your creations...this one is a winner! Really looks great on you - fiddling with the fit was worth it.

I *love* your dress!! It looks great on you, and the bow is really cute. I wouldn't have thought so from the pattern photo~your version is much better :o)

Thanks! As much as I griped about this being too big, it really is worth making. Easy too!

Thanks for the review. I have this pattern but didn't get to it before summer ended. I'm not looking for boxy either so might need to rethink this. Your version looks great and the pattern envelope shows a semi fitted dress. Hmm, another case of fitting woes?

Thanks everyone! MNBarb -It drives me up a wall when the pattern envelope drawing shows something sort of fitted and then you end up with a sack. I don't get it.
