Terri A said... OOPS! Double post sorry:-) 4/23/09 2:51 AM
FreyaStark said... Well done. It looks great - including the collar. The print makes the dress more interesting than it would be in a plain fabric, such as in the rather drab version on the envelope. 4/23/09 5:51 AM

pterion said... You are one groovy chick in that Ricci dress! And the floral fabric really suits the style. 4/23/09 9:55 AM
Barbara V said... Your dress is fabulous in style, fabric, color and workmanship...all of this makes it totally complimentary on you! You look great. 4/23/09 9:57 AM
Jali said... Retro, modern chic! You have made one very fashionable dress. Thank you for the review. I wasn't very familiar with Nina Ricci before this. It's difficult to believe these styles are from decades ago. I think they are really timeless. 4/23/09 11:21 AM
Em's Summer said... What a great dress! You look wonderful in this dress! 4/23/09 11:57 AM
Vintage Joan said... Fabulous! You're becoming quite the fashion guru around here. :D Oh, and thanks for sharing the link to that Paperpast Yearbook website! 4/23/09 12:02 PM
Amanda S. said... WOW! I love it. You did a great job and the fabric is wonderful. I don't usually like the look of rolled collar clothing. It usually looks alien to me for some reason. But this one rocks! I think it's because the collar drapes forward slightly and we can see your neck. 4/23/09 2:39 PM
persevering said... Pretty dress on you - the fabric is delightful. Thanks for you educational review. 4/23/09 3:22 PM
MagpieJen said... Fab! A chic, beautifully made classic!
That Paperpast link is cool! Though too bad the information gets sketchier on either end (they didn't have much for the early 40s either).
I so agree about the vintage Vogue designer patterns, they are gorgeous - just like your dress! 4/23/09 4:05 PM
RobinMCPA said... This turned out great! I like the print. I've heard that the vintage Vogue designers series is good from one of my sewing friends who sewed them the first time around. Cool how everything eventually comes back! 4/24/09 5:34 AM

Nancy Anne said... Beautiful dress- It's very flattering on your figure. And while you say the collar style may not suit you, I thought it was the very thing that made it look uniquely yours. 4/27/09 10:56 AM
