Holy cow, Lorna! Va va va voom! Your fabric choices are gorgeous, and the completed ensemble is *so* much more attractive on you than on the model. Beautiful job and contratulations on overcoming the challenges.

Gorgeous, Lorna. Not a quick and easy project - but oh, so worth the extra care you put into it. Enjoy wearing this one.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I must say that this is all credit to PR. Had I not discovered this place two years ago, I owuld never have dreamed of making something like this let alone finding the fabric! All the help from everybody makes it a lot easier to try something like this. This community makes me want to keep trying new things. I did get loads of compliments last night at the party ... and the DH loved it, too.

You will be the belle of the party! Seriously, that is a great holiday outfit you made (and much nicer than the pattern pictures). Congrats on your success w/ the fabric. (Hey, did you get els' pun - smashing. Get it? Beads? )

Anne that is too cute! That bead smashing was quite therapeutic when I was really frustrated with the tedius slow pace!

you've done a beautiful job on your gown, and it was especially helpful as I'm the same size you are. I've been searching for another formalwear pattern, and thanks to your review, I'm putting this one on my wish list.
