MelissaB in WA said... Very cute Dawn! I seriously wish you'd share half of your energy with me - you always get so much sewing done so quickly. 3/7/09 1:07 PM
lilyofthevalley said... Really yummy dress, Dawn, and you look so stylish in it. I don't think the fabric is bland, at all, but rather classically chic. Love your sandals, too. And yes, make another in denim with two rows of topstitching - totally different look. Lovely, Lily 3/7/09 1:28 PM
Meggie LuLu said... CUTE shirtdress!! I LOVE the topstitching and your SHOES!! 3/7/09 1:42 PM
Markie1 said... Another beautiful example of your well thought-out sewing. You always look immaculate in your clothes, and this is no exception. I love your blog--"sewing is taking over my life"--I hear you, sister! 3/7/09 2:05 PM
Vintage Joan said... Wow, that is VERY classy -- so pretty. Probably my favorite thing of all the fabulous stuff you've ever made. :) 3/7/09 2:18 PM
EleanorSews said... You've done it again ~ this is a beautifully made classic. Your sewing is always impressive. 3/7/09 2:24 PM
PattiK said... Beautiful!! Makes me wish I had not stopped the very expensive Burda subscription! Great work! 3/7/09 2:55 PM
Karen6790 said... I didn't even catch this one in the February issue, but I'm going to have to trace it off. This is a great little dress - I like the neutral-but-not-boring fabric (and your shoes, as always). 3/7/09 3:54 PM
Heidi Ho said... Cute dress! I looks so nice on you!! It reminds me so much of one I made when I was about 20 (which would be 1974). I may have to make a 2009 version. Mine was grey so when I saw your picture that was the first thing I thought of. 3/7/09 4:21 PM
