Katharine in BXL said... This turquoise version is lovely on you. It lights up your eyes. Is that cowl neck from your recent KM top? You could probably take in the big black version--I do that with my serger a lot. 10/4/04 4:29 AM
Asa Hagstrom said... That turquoise/teal is definitely your color - but you knew that, right? - and I really like the look of a dress on you. 10/4/04 8:20 AM
LindaS. said... Very pretty on you. Your first one is pretty, too, although a bit large, as you said. I think I'd attempt to take it in, as Katharine suggested. I've never seen that silhouette made up before. Is there enough walking ease? 10/4/04 10:07 AM
Annika said... Lijnda S. - there IS enough walking ease for me. The Sewing Workshop's pattern is a bit smaller at the bottom hem, or so my friend who has made that dress claims, but I still like the hobble skirt look. I guess you just can't sprint to the ATM in this one... 10/4/04 10:15 AM

AnneM said... Both versions are very nice (just that the 1st one is too big, but still lovely). Your ideas on both versions are great. Where do you get "KnipMode"? 10/5/04 4:14 AM
Annika said... AnneM - I believe you can only get it in Europe. I received a bunch of old KnipModes from Els during our Amsterdam shopping spree this summer. I was instantly taken with the magazines, they're like Burda but I think they are a little bit better...Although I do like Burda - I just found another 6 recent issues at a fabric store the other day and snatched them right up! 10/6/04 9:44 AM
Vibek said... Hi, Annika, there you are! Nice to see your face. Settled in UK? The dress looks very good. Inspiring. I have one of Els's Knip-mode w/ a hobbled dress as well. That dress has three darts at the hem - (front and back) - but otherwise plain and sleevless. I have the perfect fabric for it in the spring and shall bear in mind that they draft big. The darted version should be easy to draft from your dress. Just another idea.
BTW, Anne, you can get a subsciption to Knip Mode or just single issues through some european websites if you're interested. 10/6/04 11:43 AM
