Well, it does look really cute on you, but I understand your wrap dress woes. :)

It's a nice looking dress and the color is good on you, too. I know what you mean in regards to wrap dresses, though.

Stylish dress. It looks great on you! (Although I feel your pain with wrap dress comfort issues.)

Nice dress, nice color, looks great on you. Ditto on the comfort issue. Don't find it to be so in RTW wraps.

Very pretty! Hopefully you'll be inclined to wear it, too, since you've added more coverage in the underlap. One year when we were doing our Christmas cantata (in our polyester satin blouses and our polyester cardboard wrap-around, Velcroed skirts) we were all traipsing up the stairs to go to our appointed spot on the bleachers, when one of my fellow tenors stepped on the hem of her skirt and OFF it came! She didn't miss a beat though, just grabbed it up and kept heading up the stairs as she re-fastened it. I remember thinking, geez, look how good she looks even WITHOUT her skirt -- ha! On that skirt, I extended the underlap clear over to the side seam, stitched it to the side seam all the way down the length of the skirt, added MORE Velcro AND a button to the inner waistband. Now my skirt CAN'T fly open, and hopefully I won't lose it completely. I guess I made it into a mock wrap, now that you mention it. At any rate, your dress is lovely!

Annette1, that is a hysterical story! Ah, the dangers of a wrap...

I'm so grateful that you reviewed this and talked about wrap dress woes. I have this pattern and regularly, take it out to stare at it, wondering if I can get a wrap to fit and then, to obey. You have convinced me that a top and skirt will better suit my needs, though I may have to copy your beautiful magenta RPL. Thanks a million, Lily

You look fantastic! But I can understand your concerns regarding, ahem, "security." Maybe if you put a safety pin (or sewed on a snap)? I'm just trying to convince you to keep wearing the dress.

oooh pink looks fabulous. The dress does not look like a plain KS pattern at all.

Very pretty dress, I adore the color!

Lovely color - your dress looks great on you!

Very pretty material, Julia. Sorry you don't like your dress after all you went through to make it. I don't think I would feel comfortable in one, either. ;)

This dress looks great on you! The color is good and so is the style. I'm going to buy one when I find KS on sale somewhere.
