tweedcurtain said... Beautiful dress. I much prefer yours to the BWOF one. The hand sewn zipper sounds like quite an achievement, too! 1/1/08 3:14 PM

Linda G said... You have a beautiful dress and to think that you sewed it on an antique sewing machine. Great job. 1/1/08 5:08 PM
MissCelie said... Gorgeous dress! I had my eye on this one too. Way to make that machine work for you!! 1/1/08 5:18 PM
squirrellypoo said... ooh this is gorgeous! I was eying this up in the magazine. I can't tell from your review though - did you make the additional underskirt, too, or did you find the dress was poufy enough on its own? 1/1/08 5:46 PM
Rhonda in Montreal said... Gorgeous!! Because you're young & firm, the look is "WOW" just as-is!! I could also "see" this little black dress with different jewelry types, little "jackets", belts... WOW!! Enjoy your pretty dress! 1/1/08 5:55 PM

So So said... Fabulous dress! Love the length and great with your boots. Looks as tho it cost a fortune. But only you and us know otherwise. Love it. 1/2/08 8:39 AM
Becky Coleman said... Even though your sewing machine is old, it should be possible to fit it with a zipper foot. Most of the kits for invisible zipper feet have several "shanks" to fit a variety of machines. Your dress is gorgeous. 1/2/08 9:53 AM

blue mooney said... Beautiful! You look smashing in that dress. I think La Fred patterns has some instructions for inserting an invisible zipper with a regular foot, and that you can find them on the net. Those old machines make beautiful stitches, don't they? 1/6/08 8:15 AM
SewKnitYKnot said... What a beautiful dress! Very elegant. It looks absolutely fantastic on you! 1/6/08 8:59 AM
nancy2001 said... Wow. The dress looks beautiful on you. You definitely need to promote yourself. You're not a beginner by any means. 1/6/08 11:50 AM
Marji said... just fabulous! and very interesting reading your review. Congrats on getting the zipper figured out. 1/6/08 1:07 PM
Seaspur said... I can't believe you took the time to make this on a hand cranked antique machine. What a tremendous amount of work. it's very beautiful. 1/6/08 1:08 PM
JudiBee2 said... It looks great. I agree about the hand picked zipper. That is the "couture" way. But to make it concealed, I would love to see your tutorial onit. Thanks for the information. 1/6/08 5:11 PM

Lucy in Virginia said... Very lovely. I'm amazed you could turn out such a lovely garment on the antique sewing machine. I guess it puts the rest of us to shame. 1/9/08 9:16 AM
