calzone said... It is a pretty, classic styling. You have toned upper arms that help show the dress to advantage. I wonder what type of sleeves (besides 3/4) some of us not-so-lean-in the-upper-arm types might add... 4/2/05 4:29 PM
Cami said... Love the style and the color. Looks wonderful on you. Waist came out very nice and the hem is lovely. 4/2/05 4:52 PM
jlg said... I really like your dress. The lines are so clean and elegant, and your fabric is lovely. I had never noticed this pattern before. Your arms look great, by the way. 4/2/05 4:53 PM
Leslie in Austin said... Never would have looked twice at this pattern based on Vogue's illustration, but your finished dress is amazing. I love the crisp but floaty looking linen and the decidedly retro and glamorous lines. Excellent choice making it sleeveless. In that you're going to be one of those "always perfectly polished" women whom I desperately envy. 4/2/05 5:29 PM

echolalia said... Gosh, this looks like such a 'nothing' dress on the pattern envelope. It looks so very stylish on you Irina. Reminds me of an advertising poster/ movie promo from the 50's/60's - the star was wearing a similar silhouette dress in white with very large sunglasses and a scarf on her very dark hair - can't remember the star though, Sophia Loren maybe? Your dress is lovely. 4/3/05 8:19 AM
Linda L said... Irina, I think the dress looks very classic and very becoming on you. Nice summer looking dress. 4/3/05 10:17 AM
SewTabby said... Irina, your dress is a perfect example of why PR is such a great resource. I never would have looked twice at this pattern while flipping through the pattern book, but when I see your beautiful dress on you, it's stunning! Going to JoAnn today, and this pattern will come home with me. Thanls for the review! 4/3/05 11:45 AM
LBJ said... This pattern is on my short list. Thanks for the great review. Your dress looks wonderful! 4/3/05 4:49 PM
Harriet Rogers said... Irina: this is gorgeous. Like the others, I would never have looked at this pattern twice. Is your sash wider than the one shown on the cover of pattern? Also, I can't tell, but did you knot the sash, or is it looped through some cool ring? Your spring wardrobe is going to be the envy of everyone in your town/city!!! 4/5/05 5:51 PM
CarolynGM said... Harriet -- my sash is made exactly to the pattern. I tied it once, but didn't knot it for the picture. It probably looks bigger because the fabric is rather crisp so the sash doesn't really drape when I put it on. 4/5/05 6:37 PM
Hilary said... Well, this is a little late-but your dress is beautiful!!
