Love, love the lace. You look so fab in this dress, much better than in the mags. Excellent interpretation and translation of this trend into real fashion. Excellent!!! And Happy belated birthday!!!!!

Thank you for the setailed information on how you incorporated lace. I think I'll add a little to the next blouse I make. (I'm not a lacy woman). Such a cool retro pattern-you really outdid yourself!

That's gorgeous! June Cleaver? I was going to say "classic" or "elegant". You did a great job.

This is so beautiful and elegant!!! If Michelle Obama is the First Lady, you are going to make her dresses, right? Or you can be her stand-in :) ! When I see your dress, I think Jackie-O elegance for sure.

Cennetta, kudos to you for making a dress that is breathtakingly beautiful and cutting edge! I am so beyond admiration here!

Gorgeous! Very sophisticated and a brilliant way to pull of ivory lace without looking bridal. Fabulous job!

Beautiful dress. What I really appreciate is the excellent use of photos and instructions within your review. Very helpful.

BEAUTIFUL dress! June Cleaver should be so lucky. :o) I LOVE that collar.

Cennetta, you look beautiful in that dress. I love a full lining too - all my mother's handmade dresses from the sixties have great inside details that make the outside so much better looking. This dress makes me nostalgic for two dresses I had as a teenager in the 80's: My Jr. High choir dress (same pattern bodice, but with a full circle skirt, turquoise with white, very retro), and a white lace dress I wore to a church young women's conference. Hmm... I may have to get this pattern. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful use of lace. I always look at the pics you post of altered pattern pieces, that is especially helpful to me.

Thanks, everyone. I absolutely love this dress. It's comfortable and stylish. Sunday I received loads of compliments. Several people asked if I could make one for them. ;-)

You always do such a wonderful job on your finishing and fitting. I'm always looking to see what you are wearing next! Of course I had to check out the shoes and both pairs are great. Even from the back the fit is beautiful. Another winner!

Wow, VERY chic - I love that ladylike 60s look as well. You did a great job of incorporating your own tweaks and creative ideas.

Wow, that is so pretty! And I was just thinking how much I wanted to make this pattern with some brown lace and peach fabric that I have- if it turns out half as pretty as yor dress, I'll be happy!

Thanks! I can't believe I'm still getting compliments on this dress. It's still in my closet. Last time I wore it, early Spring 2010.
