Jilly cooper, there's nothing to be confused of my friend....It is not wearable in the since..when I stated that the zipper gave me problems and left the zipper unwearable due to my rigging up the zipper. I stated I did not dislike anything about the dress which is true..I can not say I dislike a thing due to my lack of expierence.....But thanks for encouragement to keep going. 10/4/09 3:36 AM

Stitchcakes said... Really cute! Keep plugging along. Save it, and when your skill set improves, you can probably salvage something from it... 10/5/09 11:55 AM
Sewing Chick said... Hang in there. Practice makes perfect. I have been sewing for over 30 years and still learn something new everyday. I made this dress for my honeymoon and love the pattern. 10/5/09 3:02 PM

BBetz said... Glad to know I am not the only one who doesn't understand the zipper installation instructions. I am completely befuddled by them and looking for something that explains it better. Not too much luck, yet...but I love this pattern too, and *overall* it is easy to make. 4/24/10 1:04 PM
