marec said... I like the dress, and while it *is* a teeny big on you, it looks cute! The style, paired with the color of the linen you chose, is very calming and subtle. I hope you try this pattern again. 7/16/11 10:51 AM

Christas said... I agree with Marec, this dress looks cute on you! I hope you get some wear out of it. That linen is really nice! 7/16/11 11:32 AM

Butterick patterns are on sale tomorrow for 99¢ at Joann's so I can get the size 12. I really really like this pattern, especially in this fabric. I think going down a size will make this work. What a bummer! Lesson learned!! 7/16/11 11:40 AM

FreyaStark said... I agree with the first three comments. It looks good on you, even if it is a bit roomy, and I hope you get to like it and get some wear out of it. And of course the next one will be even better! 7/16/11 8:32 PM

1SewSweet said... I agree with everyone else here... This looks really good on you, honest! Just a tad bit big. I have this pattern too & really want to move it up on my sewing list now. You should try it at least one more time before giving up on it! 7/17/11 9:27 AM
