Terri Smith said... I missed you! And your dress does look better than RTW. Thanks for the review and the warning! 7/4/08 3:02 PM

Olivia Sews said... I love that color and Thanks for the tips sewing this. How about sewing in a modesty panel at the bodice? I have missed your reviews. 7/4/08 4:31 PM
CarolynGM said... I love your color combo. Any aggravation is so worth it if the dress makes your figure look 20 years younger. You should model it for us. 7/4/08 5:01 PM
echolalia said... I am another who has missed your reviews and postings. Your reviews always highlight the good points and warn about the difficulties and this is no exceptions. Thanks. 7/4/08 8:35 PM
mermaids said... what a fab dress. despite your issues with it and the fact that i will need to grade it down at least two sizes, i might give this one a try because i totally love the waist line treatment. 7/5/08 5:27 AM

tinac said... I like the contrasting bands and the colors are gorgeous. I found that using Steam A Seam to hold the facings in place made it almost effortless sewing everything...took a bit of time, bit no wrinkles. I also sewed a piece of fabric into the front neckline as a fake cami because, YES it is low! 7/5/08 7:33 AM
cindyann said... Glad to "see" ya, Sue. Pretty dress. Love the contrast you used for neck and sleeves. 7/5/08 11:44 AM
Robin Denning said... Thank you for all the details about your experience. I just bought this pattern and some fun poly knit and I am working up the courage to give it a try. The short sleeve looks very nice, I may do it that way, too. 7/5/08 4:30 PM

jso4fun said... Hi drsue,
I am a newbie on PR, and I've really enjoyed looking at your reviews. I am really pleased to find another short/petite sewer. If you get this message, do you want to exchange info? What patterns work the best for you? I love Sewing Workshop patterns but they are humongous on me (5', 106 pounds). I am slowly learning what alterations I need to make on patterns, as I get back into sewing for myself. Hope to hear from you! 3/12/09 10:41 PM
