Terri Smith 9/22/08Love the Ferrari/trailer comparison LOL. Nice dress too!

Nancy Anne 9/22/08For all of the issues you had with this dress, you sure did turn out a cute garment! Purple is my favorite color, so I am loving your hue choice!

Lori V 9/22/08Very pretty.

LindsayT 9/23/08Nice dress!

Heatherrique 9/23/08Absolutely a sharp and stylish dress on you!

nicegirl 9/24/08This looks fantastic! There's definitely nothing wrong with mixing high fabric and low. I think the only difference working with silk is using a sharp/microtex needle. Once you put the right needle in the machine, it's no different than sewing anything else.

birdmcfarland 9/25/08thanks for the needle advice! I used a regular needle (despite knowing that there were better tools out there) and it worked fine. Getting over these "fear humps" is such a relief!

elily00 1/16/09I really like this dress! The purple fabric is beautiful, and that silk trim does add a nice touch :) I think it turned out great and it looks beautiful on you! I know you like the lace peeking out, but what about attaching a hem band with the silk? That might help your hem issues- just an idea :)
