said... I think the fit looks great. You did a wonderful job on the alterations, including shortening the hem without ruining the 'look' of the dress. 10/18/02 8:23 PM

bheansidhe said... I want this dress, but I have a heavy bust and I don't know if my skills are up to this much alteration. Could you re-post your picture of the finished dress? I got an error from Ofoto. Thanks! 10/19/03 2:56 PM

Lisa Laree said... Wow! I missed this when you first posted it. Are there separate pattern pieces for the skirt/top and dress, or is the top just a modification of the bodice pattern?
Oh -- still can't see your photo. :(. Try emailing the photo to yourself and then posting the link. Several people are having problems with ofoto links that don't work anymore. 10/20/03 11:30 AM
Ann Smith said... Hopefully the photo link will work now. Thanks Lisa for the tip. There are separate pattern pieces for the skirt/top and the dress. Interesting that you went back and noticed this review at the same time as bheansidhe....one year after I posted the review! 10/20/03 12:32 PM
minieme said... I just bought this pattern, but hasnt found the fabric to make it yet. What do you think about the fit of the arm holes? I'm thinking of taking them in a bit at the shoulders. 3/13/04 1:36 AM
