ryan's mom said... This is a great dress! I agree--gotta love those princess seams :) . I can't wait to see what your fashion-oriented self does with your own version. 9/24/08 6:25 AM

nicegirl said... Princess seams really are the best, aren't they? Can't wait to see what you make for yourself out of it! 9/24/08 4:26 PM

marec said... Very cool dress and interesting review. I love the style and think this would make up a fun, vintage look dress. I wonder what it would look like in a brown silk? 9/25/08 9:19 AM
AnneM said... It is certainly flattering on the wearer, much prettier than the envelope indicates. Great job on the dress, and it certainly meets the look requested in the drawing. 10/8/08 6:38 AM
gellod said... I have this pattern, I purchased it two weeks ago. Having read your review I now feel comfortable in making it, so watch this space!! I love what you have done with the design on the pockets, very unique. 4/17/09 4:48 PM
yvonneH said... thanks very much for helpful review. i never like to buy pattern without photo of model and just drawing. it's good to see someone has actually made it and see the photo of the dress on real people. thanks a lot 4/23/09 2:32 PM

Gendun said... It's very pretty, and I'm SO glad you told us it was a costume! I had been thinking "Wow, this looks so period on her; I wonder how she feels about that?" (chuckles) I suspect it is the stiffness of the fabric that does it, along with the rickrack & colour, both of which scream ingenue. Well done! 3/22/12 11:43 AM
