Thanks for the review. I have this pattern and a similar type fabric that I hope to make for myself when I finally get time to do personal sewing. I had been questioning my choice of fabric on my plus frame. Well actually the frame isnt plus size, just all the stuff on top it. :) Yours looks really cute. I am planning on view D because my bosoms sit high on my chest and that cross over style will show way too much cleavage. Thanks for the heads up about the hem and zipper placement. It must be so much fun to have a twirly skirt!

Wow. Your review has lots of advice. I have been thinking of a dress, this might be the one - with your modifications printed off to help me. Thanks

Lovely dress, very flattering on you. Great review.

This dress is terrifically flattering on you. Lovely! Using supplementary instructions is really the best way to go. The pattern companies do not ever tell you the best way to do it.

Great dress...where did you get those darling shoes?
10/26/08 11:06 AM
Very cute! Love the material.

Fun, retro, feminine dress. You do look pretty in it.

The colors look great on you as well as the style.

This is a great looking dress and it looks fabulous on you!

Oh I love this dress. Did you have to alter the sleeves at all? Your figure is very similar to mine although I think my upper arms are larger.

Caitycat, Thanks so much for your review. You look very pretty in this dress. Great job!

Sounds like you were up for this challenge. Let me say how adorable you look in this pretty dress.

I've often admired this pattern, but then I see all those GODETS and think, hmmmm ... :o) Yours has turned out MAGNIFICENTLY, though, and I can TELL it would be a lot of fun to wear. Looks great on you, and you did a great job with all those GODETS! :o)

Wow, this is *lovely* on you!! Very flattering, and such a cheery dress-I can see why it makes you happy! Well done!

Thank you so much for reviewing this pattern - I almost bought it on the weekend, but I think now I'll wait until I've got more experience under my belt!

what a lovely dress, it does fit you well. It is always to see plus sized clothes reviewed

Great job, the dress looks terrific on you. The shoes are gorgeous too, I'm suffering shoe envy.
10/26/08 7:12 PM
Beautiful dress! No wonder why it makes you happy! Very flattering and great color.
10/26/08 7:47 PM
Fabulous dress - worth the effort!
10/26/08 11:30 PM
Fantastic dress!

How fun! I have some orange retro nylon similar to this pattern that I'm thinking of making a dress, and your review has pushed me over the edge to do so. Thanks so much for the review!

Great dress and review!
10/27/08 9:39 AM
Very flattering looks RTW!
10/27/08 10:30 AM
It is a happy dress! Probably likes being with those awfully cute shoes! You look happy too. The dress is flattering on and you are right about shortening ~ much longer and it would not be so great.
10/27/08 11:24 AM
What a great style for your figure -- one of those shapes that looks better on a curvy, plus figure than on a bony model. Great job fighting through the inadequate instructions for a beautiful result.
10/27/08 12:02 PM
You look radiant in that dress! Can't wait to see the next one.
10/27/08 5:00 PM
Very pretty dress, love your fabric. Good color on you.
10/27/08 5:12 PM
Fabulous Caity !!!!!! Love your dress and the TDF shoes.
10/27/08 6:38 PM
I think it looks gorgeous!!! and i love the print, just big enough to see the detail but small enough to not take over. Very flattering style.
10/30/08 8:55 AM
Very pretty!!! I love your choice of fabric!

I've been on the fence about this pattern but your review has pushed me toward making it. This is sooo flattering on you. You look fabulous.
