tomed 1/8/08She looks lovely - nice job on the suit and thanks for the review!

PatM 1/8/08The suit looks lovley on your Mum. I have made the short sleeve top twice becasue it is so cool in the heat. This is not only a plus size pattern, Burda had it as a regular size and Vogue 8090 is very similar. The buttonhole is the seam is easy also.

Athene 1/8/08Your mom looks lovely and very happy too.

Sadlesor 1/9/08Amazing what new clothes can do for a person's state of mind. Your Mum looks beautiful. What a smile!

hongkongshopper 1/9/08Very nice! Much better than Millers...lol

Vonnevo 1/9/08A lovely outfit and a very happy mum !! Great job frantic :)
* * *
PegL 1/9/08Your mother looks lovely in her stylish new outfit!
* * *
ITAdmin 1/9/08She's very much in style with this. I saw a similar outfit in a "high fashion" catalog recently. Sold for $$$.
* * *
Karen8320 1/9/08Frantic, what a great daughter you are to whip up something so stylish for your mum! How right you are about the lack of anything remotely resembling stylish fashion available for senior citizens. You've done a great job and your mum looks lovely and happy. Well done!

tessiesgal 1/9/08This pantsuit looks wonderful on your dear mother. She is a very lovely lady.
* * *
ChristineBR 1/9/08It looks great, and so does she. Good for you! We have them for such a short time, and making them happy does so much for the soul.
* * *
clin 1/9/08Your Mom looks so pleased with her outfit and she should be - it looks very, very nice. How wonderful that you can make her clothes - I have been for DMIL but sad to say she is now so far gone with Alzeihmers that it is becoming unnecessary - heartbreaking.

Jane S 1/9/08What a happy mother enjoying the generous gift from her loving daughter. Bravo to you for making this a fun time together and for sharing such a fun review.
* * *
Luckylibbet 1/9/08Fashion therapy does indeed do wonders. Bravo on a great outfit and a happy mum.
* * *
Linda E. 1/9/08Very pretty.. lovely outfit.
* * *
Marijapo 1/9/08I like your sense of humor. It is great! Your mother looks no more than 65 years old on the photo, so I guess the dress is a total success! Bravo!
* * *
Annette1 1/9/08You mom is so CUTE. :o)) She reminds me of my mother-in-law in many respects. Her outfit is just perfect: the color, the fit, and, yes, even the polyester!
* * *
Schnauzer 1/9/08Your mum looks really happy with her suit. It's lovely!
* * *
LorelleD 1/10/08Not only does your mum look good in her suit she also looks very happy as well.
* * *
fuzzygalore 1/11/08Oh, I really like my version of this shirt, I'm sure she'll be very happy with it. Comfy but good-looking is a plus at any age :-). You probably did well to go with the polyester too, this time at least - it'd be hard for her to have something that needs special washing, and you might as well not pull her too far from the familiar. I made Burda sweats for my mother too, same fabric but real cotton and -much- better style, it was her all time favorite.
* * *
stashblaster 1/19/08Nicely done! Thank you for the info on ironing the seam flat. Your mom looks great!
* * *
nancy2001 1/20/08What a wonderful gift for your mother.
* * *
sweatpea23 9/13/09She looks absolutely beautiful in it. Very nice job and I love the fabric you chose.
