You did a terrific job on this dress. The shorter sleeves really do make it look nice.

I am having trouble trying to post more pictures Nora :(

Hats off to you! What a lovely dress! It fits beautifully and the color & style are so flattering. You did good! Now, you can move ahead and make more... and try other styles too. What fun!

That dress looks great on you! Great job on your first review!
10/27/09 9:35 PM
Wow, I didn't realize how new to sewing you were. This is fantastic work! It's a great job and I hope it has given you the confidence to do more complicated sewing!

Beautiful dress and it is a great color on you!
10/27/09 10:39 PM
Well done Nora. It is perfect on you.
10/27/09 11:09 PM
Nora, this is fantastic! Love the shortened sleeves, and it looks like you've been sewing for years! (And fitting things also!) Keep it up - you can easily convert this pattern to a top since you've already fitted it to yourself. Absolutely LOVE it - and it looks even better than the first pictures you posted!! GREAT job!!

This dress still looks so fabulous and classy on you. It absolutely must be a LBD pattern for you. You do realize you wear this dress much better than the fashion model on the pattern envelope, don't you?

Excellent job on the fit. This dress looks great on you and you're right, the neckline is very flattering on you. I recommend looking at Kwik Sew 2694 for a knit top that is similar and very flattering.

You did a beautiful job and it's wonderful you got to wear it to a wedding. I think 3/4 sleeves are the best invention ever...lol. Lovely and congrats on the first dress.

10/28/09 11:59 AM
3/4 sleeves were the way to go with this dress - you look fantastic in it!
