Flying Seamstress said... Really lovely dress, Ruthie! You've inspired me to finish mine which has been in the UFO pile for a year (gathered section placement!). I really like your applied band as well. Great sewing/fitting & great review! 10/31/09 7:20 AM
Annette Wright said... That fabric is lovely, it definitely is a standout. I have a similar pattern, I might give it a go as a dress. Very pretty, I like it a lot. 10/31/09 9:28 AM
Rebecca D said... I think the material is very attractive and the wide neckband is an improvement over the pattern instructions. I am going to steal this idea. It looks lovely on you. 10/31/09 10:17 AM

marec said... So pretty! Your use of the applied band is so smart-looks wonderful. The fabric is perfect for the holidays. 10/31/09 11:16 AM
Dee2 said... Your dress is beautiful. I like the band around the neckline--very clever & an improvment IMO over the pattern instruction. 10/31/09 11:34 AM
Patti B said... Very nice! I especially like your addition of the band on the neckline. This dress tended to be a little low cut for me so this is a great solution that I'll copy in the future. 10/31/09 12:12 PM

lamstu said... Nice dress. I just finished making this pattern myself - interesting to read your take on it. I like the belt on you too. 11/2/09 7:50 AM
fryman said... nice job. the belt is attractive-you might want to consider a contoured shaped belt, which is flattering for most figures. 11/2/09 9:25 AM
