Rhonda Noah said... Lou, could you add some stretch nylon as lining to reduce or eliminate the see through? There was some discussion on the BB about what goes under sheer clothes that stretches, and sources for stuff are listed there. You could probably sew it to the edge of the top and trim any excess; it doesn't ravel. And I agree with Pam, your dress looks better than the pattern! You've come a long way with your sewing since you started. Congratulations! 2/23/03 6:34 AM
Lou. said... I have haven't I? That's what I love about this site...people make you think! I know I've got better when I can tackle a Burda magazine pattern and not be too scared! Watch for the review :-) I might try the lining, thanks Rhonda, I will definately try it on future dresses! 2/23/03 8:53 AM
Debbie Spriggs said... Cute dress, Lou! I may have to pick this one up for my daughter. She really likes the New Look styles, and after seeing how nice this looks on you, I think she'd love it for summer too. Thanks for the review. 2/23/03 4:07 PM
cindyann said... Lou, that's a very cute dress! Nicely done, too. I think you're just about ready to move onto the intermediate level, eh? 2/23/03 7:17 PM
Lou. said... I keep putting off the intermediate level....I am in the process of a Burda skirt, which looks quite complicated so if I do that I'll give myself a promotion :-) 2/24/03 9:54 AM
