Gigi, your comments on kwik Sew patterns got me interested in trying them. This was a pattern line I had sort of forgotten about. We must have similar taste, because the ones you have reviewed were patterns that I liked in the catalog. The ones I have made have all turned out great.

I've enjoyed this pattern for a while but did think it ran a bit smaller than KS 2054 (tshirt dropped shoulders)

Gigi, I must have missed this review! Thanks to Kitty's new review of this pattern I was directed to yours. Wow! I have been tossing my scraps lately because I didn't know what to do with them. Now I see what I've been missing! Thanks!

I like your dress Gigi, and have been waiting for a picture of the "dress version". Now that you have done it, can you tell me if it clings to the tummy area. I would like to try this view as a dress. I have made the other version with the higher rounded neck 5 time so far and just love it!(by the way, I got the pattern in the first place because of your review).

Arlene, it does not cling anywhere - just make sure you allow enough ease through the tummy and hip area. This dress is so comfortable that I am thinking of making it floor length for a modern-day caftan.

I plan on making it all black, out of stretch velvet and a beautiful raschel knit that I have. I used this combination for view a before (which I am currently wearing). I won't be using a pattern to lengthen if for a dress style, so do you have any suggestions for how wide it should be at the hem for walking ease?

That dress is beautiful! I bet it feels wonderful to wear too!

Gigi Louis said...
Oh, yes, Alex, it's VERY comfortable. :-) Arlene, I used an old McCall's pattern as a template for my dress - the hem circumference is about 55".

WOW, that is stunning... I was just looking at your reviews and I seem to just be copying you. Its the best form of flattery !!

Your top and dress are a WOW! As usual you have great taste in fabric.

Oh, Gigi. I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who has to make a ton of alterations to make a pattern fit. Especially on KS, which seems to be a pattern that everyone can wear. Now, I was wondering what to do with a great knit I bought in several colors. I really like this top.
