In the review photo, I think this looks good on you, even though you have doubts about the suitability for your figure type. 10/8/12 4:01 AM

persevering said... Yes it is cute on you! How smart of you to keep it above the knee ... so it has a trendy look! 10/8/12 11:00 AM

MNBarb said... I'm laughing. I'm also drawn to this style and not flattered by it. Being a child of the 60's and 70's may have something to do with it. I love the looseness of this dress. Maybe you would like it better if you dressed it down with casual sandals and a funky necklace (think Woodstock). It's very cute. 10/10/12 7:33 AM
AuntieShel said... Your dress is so adorable and I think it looks very cute on you. I, too, am so drawn to these patterns, have yet to make one, though! I am too big for them, but am so drawn to the aesthetic!! 10/10/12 9:18 AM

If so, what color is it in? Any help would be super appreciated! I can guess at it, but thought I'd check first with you. :) if nothing else, how many inches from the hem seam did you place them?
Also, do you remember how many inches you took off? I too, have made several japanese patterns all with larger than expected results. I've made XS and size 6 and have taken off several inches each time to get to my size.
I appreciate any insight you have around the pocket placement. Thanks a bunch! :) 5/29/13 10:59 PM
