Ann Smith said... What an amazing story. And a success at that! Your improvisations worked out great. I can't believe you did this and still found time to write a review. That pink trim is wonderful. How did that just happen to be in your stash? 6/4/06 3:54 PM
Elona said... Smashing dress! And I love the way your photos show you standing next to yourself for the second view. Somehow, that's very helpful. 6/4/06 4:19 PM
redsquid said... Ann- at some point I will start my "panty binge" and do lots of lingerie sewing. I was stocking up on lingerie elastics and decided to order some brighter colors and unusual elastics as long as I was paying shipping for the more traditional offerings... so the most unusual choice gets used first. Time-wise, it helps that DH works Saturdays - plenty of Linda-time to sew. 6/4/06 5:22 PM
Nicky Scholnick said... I enjoyed your review, and am amazed at how quickly you sewed this up. It is absolutely gorgeous! 6/4/06 7:02 PM
CarolynGM said... Very entertaining review, and I learned a new very vivid fashion term: butt velcro! I believe I've had that affliction on occasion, but never knew what to call it. 6/4/06 8:25 PM
AngieC said... Great informative review and I love the dress on you! You give us all hope for the $2 fabric we have in our stash! 6/4/06 8:34 PM

Lhan said... Lovely review! I like what you tell us about, and the things you try. I love the lingerie story - I have an ambition to do this one day too. Your solutions to the problems of fitting are great - I have actually never been attracted to this pattern, and it helps expand the horizons to see other people's enthusiasms. Thanks! 6/5/06 6:30 AM
carolynw said... Great review - dress looks absolutely lovely on you. Bravo for working through all the little fitting problems - had a hearty laugh at "butt velcro" much funnier than my name for that. Hope you had a wonderful dinner with DH and am sure you got many admiring glances. 6/5/06 8:39 AM
