Nancywin said... The fabric may have seemed thick to work with, but the dress looks beautiful! I think it has just the right amount of body to really show off the shape of it. Very pretty fabric; I can see why you picked it. 6/20/09 1:57 AM

Pamaro said... Very pretty dress. Perhaps we should meet in the middle somewhere (perhaps Las Vegas) and wear our matching fabric dresses! :) The colors are beautiful on your skin tone. I love the June Cleaver look. Thanks for the detailed review. 6/20/09 11:46 AM

JudiBee2 said... That looks cute on you. Lucky to find cotton with lycra as it is nice to have that extra stretch, but with the lining is probably mitigated. I can remember those crazy, break at the seam stitching instructions from the early '70's when I first started sewing. They have the same instructions in a crossover t shirt pattern with a midriff. Those are really hard to understand, and I usually mess up. I think kimonos are like that as well, and the instructions really require study. At any rate, lucky you, not to need adjustment. 6/20/09 1:47 PM
Sallygirl said... JudiBee, I totally agree. As a matter of fact, I can travel back in my mind's eye to the cute halter top I was making in the '70s that I never did figure out (who knows how many times I sewed and ripped out that V in the front) and do it in a heartbeat now that I "get it." 6/20/09 2:02 PM
