RuthieSews said... That's really classy, with it all being in shades of black withthe stripes and lace it has a more designer look than their multi-coloured one - lovely - and more fitted than a similar one I love which has an elastic waist. 8/10/06 6:17 PM
stitchwitch said... I love how you have put your skirt together - very classy and just the right balance of fabric and lace - thankyou for an excellent first review. 8/11/06 4:14 AM

SilverMoon said... Beautiful work! You inspired me to try this one. I wish I could see how it looks on so I could get an idea of the fit. Maybe when you get a chance. Thanks! 9/11/06 12:11 PM
CarolynGM said... I like your toned down approach to the color scheme much better than the one on the pattern envelope. The addition of lace just makes it so classy. I'm looking forward to more reviews of your very original work. 10/31/06 4:40 AM
ChrisK said... That's a really nice skirt, I love the patchwork effect with the lace - very feminine. Thanks for the review. 10/31/06 8:30 AM

mad4sewing said... I think it's lovely. Is that lace down the front or part of the pattern of one of the fabrics? it looks great! 10/31/06 8:40 AM

DJM said... Generally white on white or black on black detail--trim in the same color as the fabric--is generally considered the most elegant choice. Different, contrasting colors usually give a more casual look.
Given that principle, your black trim on black fabric looks both creative and elegant.
Keep up the good, creative work. Thanks for the review. 10/31/06 5:01 PM
Carolyndh said... I have this pattern but haven't tried it yet. I think I will follow your lead since black is my main dark neutral for my wardrobe. Thanks for the great review. 10/31/06 7:34 PM
sewkiwi said... Thank you so much for all your comments, you have given me the confidence to put up further garments. Its quite nerve racking doing this for the first time. The skirt has been one of those real success projects, I wear it at least once a week and still get comments. 12/1/06 4:16 AM
