michellep74 4/2/09This is really cute on you--that pattern is a great match for your hourglass figure. You'll have a lot of fun making up more of these in vintage-inspired fabrics!

moushka 4/2/09What an adorable dress this is on you! Looks terrific! Wish I had a waist so that I could wear that style, you lucky girl. Hope you'll make a couple more so you'll have a wardrobe of pretty dresses for summer. Sue

Idunna 4/2/09That is SO retro, and SO you...just like you've said. Love it!!!

Carolyn C 4/2/09You look amazing in your new dress. The fit is wonderful. I recently bought this pattern and some Amy Butler fabric with which to sew it up. When I took the pattern into the quilt shop to buy the fabric the proprietors went gah-gah. With your great review added to the others I'm looking forward to sewing this dress. Question: Did you do a muslin or did you just go for it? (I'm thinking of just going for it.)
