I admire your perserverence! I would've thrown in the towel way before you! Well, it paid off...your dress is lovely! And I don't mind the shorter length at all. All in all it looks fabulous on you!

In spite of your problems, that is a beautiful dress!

I think this is a beautiful dress.

I agree with everyone else - from what I can see in the photo it looks great. I think this length of hem might actually be preferable to the floor length with those sleeves.

Your dress looks much better than the ones pictured on the pattern envelope. I think the shorter length is nice because it keeps the dress modern without losing the 70s glamour.

Oh, P, that's just beautiful!

This is a stunning dress and I hope your frustrations in making it are all erased now when you look in the mirror and see how fabulous it looks on you! Thanks for the helpful review.

Just simply gorgeous! The fabric and pattern were meant for each other. I think the length looks fine on you too...

Gosh, you look great in this!

Just my personal opinion I think the dress looks great and I love your fabric choice.

It's very pretty. I love the brown band and drape with this material. It looks very elegant. Also, the white dress is pretty.

Beautiful dress! Very flattering, and I love your fabric.

Beautiful dress!

I think this looks fabulous on you - I can't see that it is baggy and the length is just perfect - any longer and I think the whole very sophisticated effect may have been spoilt. You are making some incredibly beautiful clothes!

I really like this - the fabric is georgeous.

Beautiful :))))

Hi!! Beautiful, again!! If you REALLY don't like the length, could you consider making it "tea length"?

This is a new pattern i was considering for the bridesmaids dresses i'm making and am glad i changed my mind now after reading your review.4 of these would have taken forever lol! Have to say though yours turned out well in the end.Wear it for the wedding,its looks fantastic on you and love the fabric too,it looks so expensive.

Very dramatic! I love it!
6/5/07 9:46 PM
Gorgeous,and very nicely modelled too!
6/5/07 11:43 PM
Gorgeous dress! Simply gorgeous!
6/6/07 9:37 AM
Well for all that trouble, it looks gorgeous and is very flattering on you. I am glad you could salvage this dress!

Your dress is really great. I also wanted to let you know that I posted somethng using the same fabric. Now I wish I had made a dress like yours!!! I get lots of compliments on the fabric which is pretty neat! This site shows the back... http://sewsclothes.wordpress.com/

I am catching up on reviews, and this one is a cherry on the top! I think we are too hard on ourselves, whereas all others don't know what happened in your sewing expedition. I like the length, also..I normally wear tooo long, and DD says it makes me look older. Don't want that! This looks fresh and young, very RTW! Sort of Nordstromish wedding pages, except with "Style"...

You can't tell what you went through. That dress is beautiful and I'm inspired!
8/17/07 10:44 PM
Wow, this dress is gorgeous and complements you perfectly. I was surprised to read about all of the problems that you encountered. I hope that with a little time and distance you can look at this as an unqualified success. I'm so happy that Simplicity goes on sale at Joann's soon, this pattern is now on my list.

I haven't bought this pattern yet, but your dress turned out so pretty in spite of your problems that I'm thinking about it. Thanks for a nice, thorough review!

About to make this for my daughter for a wedding this summer, your fabric choice is stunning. I am new to this site so it is nice to see that I am not the only one that fumbles through sewing.
