SpinningJenny said... Just lovely on you! That fabric is gorgeous and fresh looking, and it's great to see a different approach to this popular pattern. 8/27/09 5:37 AM
donna mel said... great job converting to a woven. all 3 versions are lovely. too bad the knit top is a poly...looks great, but makes you feel terrible! 8/27/09 6:47 AM
Renren said... Very pretty dress in a very pretty fabric, and the lining is just perfect! 8/27/09 8:22 AM
CrescentaLuna said... Thanks all! Wovens are so much easier to work with, even though they're less forgiving fit-wise. When a knit pattern has really nice structure like this one, with many places to tweak the fit, it seems like a good candidate. Mollyshark, I'm a little tired of the wraps too - and RachelEsq, do not fear the princess seam! They are really not hard, just pin carefully and baste. Iron the seam open and - presto! 8/27/09 1:35 PM
