zoe said... This is a beautiful dress. It looks lovely on you. What a wonderful review, with your links to your tutorial on lining a sleeveless dress. Your instructions and video were clear and easy to understand. I have puzzled over pictures of this method for a while now; now I feel I can go ahead and try it with some confidence. Thank you. 6/5/12 11:08 AM

Mufffet said... VERY nice - I think BURDA had a pattern like this recently in the mag. In fact, did you make that one as well? This is SOOO slim and lithe looking! 6/5/12 12:21 PM
Pamaro said... What a great look on you! I have to disagree about pleats not being flattering on you. Those are sooooo flattering. Pretty dress. 6/5/12 12:22 PM

Nan Kay said... Understand the hesitation with upward laying pleats, but I think it is looking down at them that you don't like. The pictures show a totally flattering and well fitted dress! Looks fabulous. 6/5/12 5:19 PM
DreinPA said... I wonder if the look would change if the the pleats were stitched in place for a short distance; in a radiating pattern. It might keep them crisper and not give the open over the belly feeling you have. Nonetheless it is a stellar dress for you, and I would not have guessed there was such a great degree of taper in the skirt. It is an excellent fit on you. 6/5/12 6:20 PM

ChristmasHills said... I was so surprised at your comment that you didn't think the dress was flattering because when I looked at your photos my thoughts were "Wow, this is the loveliest dress NiceGirl has made". So I'm sorry but you are wrong, wrong, wrong. It looks stunning. 6/6/12 3:57 AM

lilbear said... looks really great on you- what pear! 7/24/12 2:38 AM
Miss Fairchild said... Great dress on you. Stunning color and the style is really cute! I can't imagine anyone of your size having a "pear-shaped body", as you put it, but I guess pears come in all sizes, including us "bartletts". I think the pleats would bug me too, unless they were vertically stitched down. I'd be looking at them and thinking they were "poofy". You got a great fit though; fabulous job! 9/17/12 8:24 AM
