echolalia said... As always, a fantastic fit, Vonne. Your colour choice is perfect for your dark hair. The Vogue model looks like she is wearing one size too small for her - it is tight across her bust and hips - but you are probably right, pegs do wonders in fashion shoots! 2/8/09 8:01 AM

Beek said... You are right! I never noticed what a wonderful pattern this is until reading your review. What a great dress. I, too, prefer armhole facings versus bias tape. Nice work! 2/8/09 10:14 AM

Diane E said... What a pretty dress and I love your photos. The garden gate provides such a beautiful rustic contrast to the ladylike quality of the fit and fabric. And yes, I'll bet they pegged the skirt for the photo shoot ;) 2/8/09 11:50 AM
Ann Smith said... Looks lovely. I really like the idea of the sewn in ties instead of a tie belt. Much more polished looking. 2/8/09 12:04 PM

Ody said... Your dress looks better on you than the pattern envelop model. Wonderful fabric.
It is the dead of winter here and I am ready to hop on a plane and go where every you are with all the warm weather.
Great review and I also want a slide show for my pictures. Excuse the rank all out envy! 2/9/09 1:34 AM

Kay Y said... Your dress is lovely on you! This is one of those sleeper patterns that you skip by until someone, like you, makes it pop! 2/9/09 9:32 PM
Kathi R said... Thanks for the info on the excess fabric in the princess seams .... I was just looking at this pattern yesterday, I love the pleats at the neckline. Thanks for the review. 2/9/09 9:37 PM
