Mermie 5/22/08Looks great on you Mary Beth. You look so svelte. Excellent review I really like your ensemble.

Gorgeous Things 5/22/08Lovely outfit, and your hair looks fantastic!

Melody 5/22/08MaryBeth!! Yay, I couldn't be happier to have stumbled upon your review this afternoon. Stunning outfit. Great review. Glad to have you back!!
* * *
Costume & Retro Kellie 5/22/08Just gorgeous and I love the fabric. Thanks for the info on handling it!
* * *
Re Becca 5/22/08What a wonderful way to use your cool fabric!
* * *
goldesdottar 5/22/08Your rendition shows that it is well worth the time to get the fit correct, and that with a good fit a close to the body line is both flattering and comfortable-looking. The jacket seems a little fussy; the top & skirt are timeless & sleek. The formality is nicely downplayed by the ikat weave of the cloth.

CarolynGM 5/22/08This simple, classic style looks very nice on you. Good pattern choice to show off the lovely fabric too.
* * *
Karla Kizer 5/22/08Mary Beth, that is so flattering! The simple lines really let the fabric do the talking and (here's a first) it made me actually *like* the idea of hot weather.
* * *
papago 5/22/08Thanks for such a detailed review! This looks great on you and I really like the fabric. Laura
* * *
Lisa Laree 5/22/08Now I'm really wishing I'd picked this up before it went OOP...
* * *
Linda L 5/23/08I like this outfit. I have not seen this pattern. This fits you well. Lovely fabric.
* * *
mClones 5/23/08Mary Beth, you are looking great! And great in that outfit. Mina

jlg 5/23/08Mary Beth, your outfit and you look great. Great review.
* * *
Jane S 5/23/08Your outfit is so lovely and that fabric is so special. Thanks for such an interesting eview as well.
* * *
MaryBeth 5/23/08Thanks, Ladies, for your nice comments. It's great to hear from old friends, I had forgotten what a "charge" it is to hear from you all! Special thanks to Melody for telling me I should post over here again...it's good to listen to the Melody :)
* * *
vespabelle 5/23/08I think the using the ikat was totally inspired! And the fit looks fabulous!
* * *
Georgene 5/27/08Wow MB, you look wonderful, and your ensemble is inspired. I love this sort of fabric. What will you do for a jacket or cardigan? Thanks for the link to your Stitchery post and the Flowgram with its interesting collection of links to Gautemalan fabric info.
* * *
loti 6/1/08Hello MB, I think you managed a better fit than I did with this pattern. I love this fabric, it is really lovely, I also happen to have some Guatemalan textiles in my stash, hmmm you've given me a great idea! Thank you
* * *
MaryBeth 6/3/08loti: I think you could easily go down a size or two in this pattern. I really appreciate your reviews of the garments you submitted to the mini-wardrobe contest: you helped me know what to expect and make adjustments to get the fit the pattern pix displays! Georgene: my first choice for a coverup for this fabric would be a knitted shrug in various blues with nubs of red and orange, or something like that. Also a jeans style jacket in organza would work nicely, too.
* * *
MareeAlison 6/5/08Fantastic outfit. You look great in it.
* * *
cindyann 7/1/08Beautiful! Such class.
