Wow, this is a gorgeous dress -especially on you! You did a wonderful job of adapting the twin-set pattern into a dress. Love the unorthodox sway back adjustment. Maybe that is the best way to go! Thanks for the detailed review. Its nice to see (read) how people think through these things. And - don't cut it short, at least not for a while, its great as is!

Cindyann, I'll check in with the first of dozens of comments you're bound to get on this dress... it is absolutely beautiful on you and I love your method for creating the new back seam! :-) I can't imagine you cutting this dress up. Practical clothes are easy. This one is a triumph!
11/15/03 5:12 PM
This dress is wonderful!!!All the work you put into it! Very, very creative. Not practical, I agree but beautiful.
11/15/03 5:24 PM
Cindyann -- yes the effort was worth it! Your dress is stunning, and it couldn't possibly fit you better. You should be extremely proud of yourself for the gorgeous outcome of such a creative endeavor! I love your technique for the CB seam too -- very original, and it makes perfect sense!
11/15/03 5:36 PM
WOW!!! Cindyann, you really worked hard on this dress! I love your dress!!! It is neat to see your creation from the beginning to end- you look quite stunning in it! Great for holidays and other special occasions!
11/15/03 5:53 PM
Very, very nice. Great job.
11/15/03 6:03 PM
wowie! great dress and great learning opportunity! woohoo!
11/15/03 6:56 PM
Wow, fancy! I am so impressed with your creativity and hard work. Well done.
11/15/03 7:27 PM
This is great, Cindyann. I loved following your planning and process and the outcome is quite becoming. Wear it with deserved pride. I wouldn't cut it off, surely you can find reasons to wear it.
11/15/03 7:31 PM
Whoa, Nellie! I am speechless with admiration! The fit is absolutely perfect- not a wrinkle or "smile" anywhere. Its a fabulous dress and you really have earned all the compliments you are bound to get.
11/15/03 9:03 PM
When everone else is wondering what to wear to the Oscars, you'll be all set. No Big Name Designer could have done better. It's fabulous, and I'm very impressed! You have certainly concealed its lowly twin-set-pattern origins.
11/15/03 9:08 PM
Why make something so extraordinary and then make it ordinary by cutting it off? A beautiful example of your creativity. (My husband likes it too.)
11/15/03 9:10 PM
Fantastic! You did an excellent job and you have the figure to wear it well. Great job. Thanks for providing such wonderful detail on the project.
11/15/03 9:36 PM
This is reallt similar to a Vogue pattern I just ran across in my stash !! I'll have to sift around and find it again. Nice job.
11/15/03 10:34 PM
wow, WoW and WOWWWW!!!!
11/15/03 11:13 PM
Oh mY! This came from that twin set pattern? WOW! I love that dress CIndyann. My figure is going the opposite way right now and I'm sooooo jealous! I had to make my twin set pattern into maternity wear and it definitely don't look as good as that! :)
11/16/03 1:57 AM
Great results, thanks for sharing your process. Love the documentation! You can always make it again in the shorter version, don't cut this piece, its great.
11/16/03 2:06 AM
What a lovely dress it shows off your great figure to perfection!
11/16/03 2:26 AM
This is TDF! A CA original. I love it! Unless I read your review, I never would have thought you started with a twinset pattern.
11/16/03 6:38 AM
OK, that qualifies as creative. :) Very nice, you should be very proud of yourself for doing all this. Looks lovely. You will have to go out for a fancy dinner or two before you shorten the dress.
11/16/03 7:55 AM
Wow, thanks everyone for the very nice comments. You are all really wonderful. I have learned so much from everyone here at PR. Thank you!
11/16/03 9:36 AM
Wow, I'm sure my jaw made a noise as it dropped! Please don't cut this dress. Inspiring!
11/16/03 10:58 AM
Stunning. Your process was fun to read, thank you for including pictures. I am definitely going to have to try your method for the back curve.
11/16/03 11:01 AM
Most impressive!!! You need to upgrade your skill description to advanced.
11/16/03 4:52 PM
This is such great dress! Wow!!!!
11/16/03 8:16 PM
Cindyann, DO NOT....I repeat DO NOT cut this dress! It is stunning, beautiful and all around drop dead gorgeous! A designer does not cut up her creations. Bravo! Well done. Go somewhere soon that you can wear this dress to. Perhaps a cruise is in order.
11/17/03 4:53 AM
Oh yes, this is perfect for a cruise, I agree. You deserve one after all this work! Great dress, great creativity.
11/17/03 10:10 AM
This dress is fabulous!!! I looked at the photo before reading the review and right away clicked on the pattern because I wanted it, (although it would never look that good on me!) and I was *shocked* to see the twin set! I thought it must be a mistake. Don't dare cut it!
11/17/03 10:14 AM
great looking dress. actually, the fact that you added non-stretch trim at neckline added a lot of stability to that neckline. knit necklines are so tricky! what are those "lingerie guards" that prevent slipping? I'd love to use those!!! I love the back V
11/21/03 1:55 PM
RL eat you rheart out! Amazing dress and amazing idea about the back seam ... I am going to try that out for my next pair of pants; I always have problems in the back area. Maybe reshaping the CB seam is the way to go!
12/1/03 5:56 PM
Your dress looks gorgeous. Love it. I hope you'll keep it as is and take it for a special night out on the town
12/3/03 10:49 PM
Georgious!!!
12/5/03 7:28 AM
Oh my goodness! How in the world did I miss this review?? Cindy, your dress is absolutely stunning! Please, please, please don't cut it off - it is so stunning and beautiful as it is. I think you would surely regret it. Granted, you may not be able to wear it on a regular basis but when you do, you'll stop traffic. :-)
12/5/03 7:48 AM
To take that pattern and change it into this dress--wow! Great job and great designing!
12/5/03 8:59 AM
Great job of getting the creative juices flowing. The dress is beautiful, and of course it looks wonderful on you! Congratulations for your perserverance in the designing. It WAS worth the trouble!
12/5/03 10:27 AM
Cindy, you have yourself a beautiful creation! You wear it extremely well, too. Your DH will be VERY proud to be seen with you in that dress...and he can be pround that he had a hand in creating it with you, too! Thanks so much for sharing your creation.
12/20/03 8:14 AM
This dress surpasses much of what one would buy in ready to wear, in style and quality. Absolutely do not shorten this dress. If you want a great short dress, use your muslin to make another. It too will be beautiful !
12/20/03 8:56 AM
Sensational! My son looked at my screen while watching ESPN and commented "Who's the hot chick?" Thanks for sharing all the details!
12/28/03 8:05 AM
I'm glad you brought it back up to the top. I hadn't seen it before. It is gorgeous. Please tell us you won't cut it up. It should definitely stay in your wardrobe.
6/21/06 5:09 PM
Nope, you can't cut it off!
6/21/06 5:46 PM
Don't even think about cutting that dress off. If you must make another short one! I thought you looked like a movie star. I am really impressed with your work and the results. Congratulations.
6/21/06 6:03 PM
Absolutely gorgeous! Please don't cut it shorter!
6/21/06 6:57 PM
It is drop dead gorgeous! Please don't cut it shorter!
6/21/06 7:10 PM
Wow, you did an amazing job! You look very elegant. Thank you very much for your review.
6/21/06 8:05 PM
Va,va,voom! You look gorgeous!
6/21/06 8:51 PM
Absolutely stunning dress! Very impressive--especially from a twinset pattern
6/21/06 11:24 PM
Nothing to add to all the other compliments: this is stunning...please don't cut: it's so original and smashing-looking: you'll always find somewhere to wear it. Beautiful, beautiful work.
6/22/06 8:36 AM
Absolutely beautiful dress! Yes, your efforts were definitenly worth it!!! Looks like a one-of-a-kind garment.
6/22/06 8:47 AM
Your efforts were well worth it! That's a very pretty gown! And what a pretty shade of plum! Great job!
