Peacock Chic said... you don't have to even tell us what others will say because we already know. "OMG that dress is gorgeous. Are you a celebrity!!!" Be prepared to sign some autographs :O) 5/4/08 10:51 PM
Annette1 said... This is REALLY, REALLY pretty. First of all, the style is so perfectly suited for your slim figure. The color combination is lovely, so pretty and not over the top. I was HOPING it was brown with the teal, and sure enough, it was! Your BEADING is just exquisite. You'll be the best-looking peacock at the ball, I can tell you that! 5/4/08 11:54 PM

bananaoil said... This is so flattering on you and it looks as though it's comfortable, something I don't usually associate with formal wear. Have a nice time at the event. 5/5/08 6:21 AM

Luckylibbet said... Really, really gorgeous - you'll be the belle of the ball. The color choices are fantastic, and the bead embroidery turns this into something truly special. Excellent work! 5/5/08 12:43 PM
Beek said... Exquisite dress. The color and design are so flattering on you. 5/5/08 1:10 PM
lilyofthevalley said... I'm amazed that your kids call it your 'peacock' gown b/c that was exactly my first instinct - and I mean that in only the most flattering of analogies! You are a virtual VISION in this elegant little masterpiece. Any real peacocks in the area will be hiding in shame for being outshone by you, Petra. Stunning, Lily 5/5/08 2:36 PM

kellyz said... I need this pattern for my wedding dress...where did you find or could you give me some tips on how it was made. My seamstress was wanting to know how much yardage it took to make the ruffles and whether they were cut in straight strips or curved strips...any insight?
Desperately,
Kellyz 5/21/08 1:02 PM
petra said... Kelly, I think that the flounce took about 2 yds, they are curved not straight. I bought the pattern off Ebay, so try searching there. It would make a great basis for a wedding dress. 5/22/08 5:23 AM
