cindyann said... Very pretty! I can see why you were interested in this pattern. 6/29/11 10:12 AM
Elemenopeo said... maybe it's for use with a bed jacket that it is warm? it is a nice and interesting design and you did well with it. 6/29/11 10:28 AM
Renren said... I think it's very lovely despite the issues you had. Sounds like the usage of "fiberfill" may have changed over the decades, too. (I don't need fiberfill lining any of my garments!!! I already look a little too much like a teddy bear.) And you are right about the independent's instructions. Some of the best instructions I read are from the indies. 6/29/11 11:06 AM
PittyPat said... You did a great job with all the challenges about the muddled instructions/missing notions, etc. Wonderful interuptation of gown. Love the changes you made to gown to make it work for you. 6/29/11 11:14 AM

Congrats on working out the kinks and not getting frustrated with it. 6/29/11 1:53 PM
treefrog said... Very pretty! It's a shame the instructions were so vague or I'd be tempted to give it a go myself. 6/29/11 6:46 PM
Margaret said... Thanks, everyone! Elemenopeo, that could be -- maybe there was a bed jacket pattern offered by the same company to go with it. I'm thinking of making one from my remaining fabric, if I can decide on a good shape. 6/30/11 5:25 AM
