Cambric Tea said... You look very beautiful in your outfit, and in that color. Not everyone can wear that Shiaparelli pink, but you certainly can. Really wonderful. 12/19/05 3:34 PM
Lisette said... You look wonderful! You can certainly carry off that color and what a creative way to finish your pieces. I had the pleasure of taking a class with Connie Long a while ago and loved it, she is very nice and makes it all so easy. 12/19/05 3:56 PM

CarolynGM said... A really simple pattern made from a dazzling fabric -- it's a knockout... and a great color on you too. 12/19/05 8:47 PM
Karla Kizer said... You've done it again, Harriet - combined a stunning fabric with simple lines to come up with an outfit that would cost $1000. Actually, Famous Designers would have added a few hundred for the cleverness of the pinked edges....Make that a $1400 outfit. Beautiful. 12/19/05 9:11 PM
jemgirlca said... So gorgeous! I love how you came up with the pinked edge for the hems. They look great! 12/19/05 10:08 PM

Danvillegirl said... I think your outfit looks fantastic. I am sure you were a hit at the party. I have not worked with this type fabric in several years. I wish I knew what you shared about the spreading of fabric and cutting then. You did a great job. Nice idea about using pinking shears also. 12/20/05 5:48 AM

Tailypo said... How clever you are! That fabric would just sit in the corner snickering at me, if it had been up to me. Beautiful results. 12/20/05 7:54 PM
Lee Ann Hawkins said... Perfect! I echo all of the above. 12/20/05 10:39 PM
