Mary Ann said... Your top looks great! Just how did you raise this tricky neckline? I'm clueless. Thanks for the great review. 8/14/08 1:21 AM
Nancywin said... This top looks really great on you - or is it that you're just looking great and happen to be wearing this top? Clever fabric source too! 8/14/08 1:22 AM
Sew4Fun said... Really nice top! I like your idea of refashioning a RTW dress. :) 8/14/08 2:12 AM
Athene said... Love this top on you and so smart to use a RTW clearance item to make something really great. 8/14/08 2:39 AM
Schnauzer said... Gorgeous top Vonne! 8/14/08 4:01 AM
Natasha B said... This looks great in a top, especially sleeveless. What a fabulous fabric source, I can imagine the shop assistant's reaction! 8/14/08 5:32 AM
Karen8320 said... Vonne, this looks fantastic on you! I think it looks really good as a top and I also think the sleeveless version is a very smart look. I like the way you've adapted it to fit your own style. Well done! 8/14/08 6:19 AM
Mel.J said... Looks great Vonne. I really like how it works with the empire seam. Thanks for the review too - I was thinking about modifying my similar Jalie pattern to add a seam there but maybe I'll just wait for this one to show up at the library. 8/14/08 7:08 AM
Allie in Hong Kong said... Great idea to make a top, think I will copy you. I have made the dress and also found the original neckline extremely low (even for BWOF!) 8/14/08 8:30 AM
ribbit2jen said... Too cute...love it!!!!!!!!!!!! 8/14/08 8:40 AM
Karen6790 said... I think this works much better as a top. Love your changes, and thanks for affirming it's okay to buy a piece of RTW to cut up. I've done it and gotten some strange reactions too, but sometimes it's the only way for a fabric you want. Great job. 8/14/08 9:59 AM
Patti B said... Lovely top and great re-purposing of the dress. Burda's necklines are often a bit hubba-hubba, aren't they? 8/14/08 10:58 AM
sewtime said... Pretty top! Looks great on you! 8/14/08 11:39 AM
sewbehind said... You look great in this. Well done. 8/14/08 11:48 AM
Mahogany Stylist said... Great looking top. I love the idea of cutting up RTW then turning it into something different. Great review. 8/14/08 1:27 PM
MelissaB in WA said... Gorgeous!!! I love the fabric too - great repurpose of a dress - you're a smart cookie my friend! :-) 8/14/08 2:05 PM

Debbie Cook said... It looks great! This pattern is on top of my to-do list for the weekend, also as a top. Nice to see a helpful eview before I even get started. 8/14/08 9:34 PM
Fran G said... Vonne, this top looks great on you! You have great shoulders..like a gymnast! Love your fabric shopping tip!! 8/15/08 7:17 AM
2BSewing said... Gorgeous top! And brilliant idea on the re-use of the dress/fabric. I need to keep that in mind when I window-shop RTW in the clearance rack. Great job! :) 8/15/08 8:39 AM
Mahler said... This top is so great ! I bet that the dress would also look wonderful on you. I love the fabric too. 8/15/08 9:54 AM
