Erica B. said... I love that dress! I've been looking for a classic styled wrap dress (i.e. Diane Von Furstenberg). This one is great and it looks fabulous on you. I had never heard of CJ patterns... thanks a lot for a great review! 7/26/06 8:09 PM

AliceB said... I love the shape of your wrap dress AND that glorious color... deeelish!! 7/26/06 8:44 PM
Katherine Dols said... Wow! Beautiful! I wonder how this pattern compares to the Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress. I have two of those patterns--1610--sleeveless or short sleeved, rather narrow skirt, and 1549--long sleeves and a fuller skirt. Was thinking I wouldn't have to buy CJ's pattern until I noticed the size on these patterns--a size 10 that measures 32-25-34. I must have been 10 years old when I had those measurements... !!! 7/26/06 9:15 PM

milwaukee_kelly said... They're both gorgeous! 8/7/06 3:15 PM
CarolynGM said... Gosh, the new long-sleeved one is even better than the first one. What a great pattern. 8/7/06 3:21 PM
Doris W. in TN said... I love it!!! ITA - the long-sleeve version looks even better than the sleeveless. I have this CJ pattern and I bought some of CJ's black rayon/lycra during her sale last week and want to make this up. Thanks for including info about the skirt not 'opening up' while walking. I made a DVF version 30 years ago, and that one had a full skirt and I never had a problem. 8/7/06 3:28 PM
Gigi Louis said... They are both beautiful and look wonderful on you! I bought the same blue rayon knit from Textile Studios and made a wrap top - it's a *wonderful* fabric. 8/7/06 6:59 PM

Thanks for this review. This is a pattern my son told me I should make, and now I agree!
8/7/06 8:42 PM
Both versions are beautiful! The red is a great color for you, and the blue is very DVF.
8/8/06 12:50 PM
What a gorgeous dress! I have been looking for a DVF pattern and I think this is it!
8/8/06 3:05 PM
Those are very nice. I agree on the blue one - it's stunning.
