michellep74 said... I think it's a lovely dress, and I don't think that it looks "too 80's". The dropped waist really elongates your torso! 4/23/09 1:39 PM
ggexpansive said... you look great!! i love your dress and i also love the scalloped waist. 4/23/09 1:42 PM
Pattern Junkie said... Gorgeous! And fifteen gold stars for you for grading up the pattern so much -- was it really difficult? 4/23/09 1:45 PM
Ody said... Super job!!! That dress is divine! I hate to tell you how old I am, but you and I could have hung out in style in HS! The dress is great, but can you rock and roll??? 4/23/09 2:06 PM
nglalala said... Great job! It looks wonderful! 4/23/09 2:24 PM
KathySews said... This looks maaaavelous. You are right on the Christmas dress, that would be smashing 4/23/09 2:31 PM
Natalie D. said... How gorgeous! I just love dresses and you don't see many these days. I have many vintage patterns but was afraid that, with so many in very small sizes, that grading them might be a fool's errand. After reading your review, I feel braver now. Thanks for the good review. 4/23/09 3:03 PM
graustark said... Your dress looks both classy and comfortable! I love the fabric ... in fact I have four yards of it in my stash. ;D 4/23/09 3:07 PM
MamaSewing said... Wow Andrea--your dress turned out great!! I really like the color and print of the fabric you used. I too have been thinking about all those cute patterns in smaller sizes and after watching you tackle more than a few I am starting to feel like I might become brave enough to do it as well!! 4/23/09 4:15 PM
MagpieJen said... Well, if it's 80s, then it's the good part of the 80s ;-) Honestly, I think it looks '50s, flirty and fun! Awesome job on grading the pattern too! 4/23/09 4:17 PM
Christas said... This looks so great on you! The fit is fantastic! 4/23/09 4:56 PM
cindyintampa said... Great fit on the dress! That dress looks like the dresses that I wore in the 1960's, back when girls were still required to wear dresses to school. 4/23/09 4:58 PM

maryfrana said... The fabric is fabulous. I love this design and you look very current and fresh in it. Yes, it would also be a great holiday dress in velvet. Beautiful job. 4/25/09 1:29 PM
Heatherrique said... You took a retro Lennon Sisters look and made it a la Scarlet Johansson for today. LOVE it on you! Your smile is gorgeous and contagious! 4/25/09 1:44 PM
AnneM said... What a spectacular job you did on this. It is really a cute style on you, I think. When I read your 80s comment I went and looked at the picture again, and I guess I can see some 80s in it, but it certainly didn't strike me that way when I saw it. You could make this style in a silk or rayon and it would look very different, I think, since the skirt would be much softer. Great job with the grading. And that wasn't a casual grading exercise, going multiple sizes. 4/25/09 8:02 PM
