Trinicity, an extremely well written review that gives us a perfect idea of what to expect from this pattern. Your dress is gorgeous, beautifully fitted, and exactly what you planned it to be. -Lily

Great dress! I just got the same fabric. Hope my dress turns out as well as yours. You look great!

Your dress is wonderful, much better than the pattern envelope.

Your version looks WAY better than the pattern envelope. I'd never noticed this pattern before, but now I want to make it.

Awesome fabric - it's the first thing that caught my eye in your thumbnail. You've done a terrific job modifying this dress to fit you in such an incredibly flattering result. Love it!

Thank you for the informative review. It's a great dress, and I love your choice of fabric and buttons.

Great review - you look very retro and yes, I could see the white go-go boots with this dress perfectly! I would probably never look at this pattern twice because the cover designs are not very appealing where your version is very cute!

It looks gorgeous, Butterick should definitely be using your version (and you!) on their pattern photo.

I'm currently working my way through this pattern too. I'm finding it time consuming for such a simple A-line dress. SImplicty 9747 was an easier pattern that I've done 3 times in different fabrics. Now I'm going to use my tried and test Simplicy pattern instead. Thanks for helping me decide before the dress looks like a sack on me as well :)
