oracle said... I think your dress is just beautiful, and that you've done a great job. I'm working on the same dress from the same pattern right now, and am at the tissue-fitting stage (I use the FFRP book, too!) I've been worried about how well the wrap bodice would fit over my bust, since I'm a DD, myself. Seeing how smoothly and adequately you got yours to fit makes me think, this dress will work for me, too! Congratulations (and on your anniversary, too!) 11/4/07 7:00 AM

Linda G said... Beautiful dress. Good creativity to overcome short amount of fabric. I have noticed more and more that Hancock and Joann Fabrics are shorting on the width. 11/4/07 9:32 AM
CarolynGM said... Gorgeous dress for an anniversary celebration. 11/4/07 9:49 AM
Sharon M said... You're dress is beautiful - the fabric may have been problematic for you but the end result was worth it. You look lovely - the perfect dress to celebrate an anniversary in. Have fun! 11/4/07 10:45 AM
RuthieSews said... very pretty. The contrast gores work really well - good design idea born from necessity. And the dark red is lovely on you, if it still fits you you have a dress for Christmas and next years valentine's too! 11/4/07 10:48 AM
Olivia Sews said... Very pretty!! Very versatile pattern depending on fabric! Thanks for the link to sewing invisible zippers. I have tried those yet. 11/4/07 10:50 AM

Kaitlinnegan said... Lovely dress! I love the fabric you chose! I had planned on making this one last spring in a rayon challis print but got sidetracked -- in the right fabric this would make a beautiful dress for the holidays... Now you've got my wheels turning. :) 11/4/07 11:30 AM
Lori V said... Happy anniversary. Very pretty dress and nice job mixing the fabrics to make the dress. 11/4/07 11:57 AM
Soliel said... Wow, how nice! Love how you tried a completely different fabric and got a totally different look. Would be a great Christmas (Holiday) dress. 11/4/07 12:20 PM
CypGrl said... What a pretty dress! When I first looked at it my thought was that someone already had a beautiful dress for the holidays and didn't wait until the last minute. Congratulations on your anniversary. 11/4/07 2:29 PM

Nancy Anne said... I am about to sew this dress, and have found your review quite helpful. The gore insertions had me a little anxious, but it is so good to know that your's went together without a hitch! And your dress is beautiful, by the way. 1/5/08 5:08 PM
