Heatherrique said... Such a delightfully gorgeous dress! That's it, you and Zazzie convinced me to GET this pattern! 3/27/10 3:47 PM
kidmd said... Yay!! This turned out so well!! It looks great on you. Nice work! 3/27/10 4:22 PM
Patti B said... Lovely dress. I like your pattern placement. I wonder if using spray starch or Sew Perfect on the seam areas would make it any easier to sew? 3/27/10 4:26 PM
zazzie said... That's a great pattern (and nice pattern placement), and you definitely have the shape and height to pull it off ! 3/27/10 4:33 PM
newmama said... Looks great! I really like how the colors ended up--they look very balanced and interesting! And I didn't realize you were so tall :) 3/27/10 5:20 PM
Christas said... Oooooh, love the print for your dress. It looks so nice on you! 3/27/10 7:49 PM
julie w said... The effort you put into pattern matching really paid off, your dress is just gorgeous! 3/27/10 8:39 PM
Heidi Ho said... Great looking dress. I ove the print! Funny though I like working with ITY a lot. Maybe it depends on your sewing machine?? 3/27/10 11:25 PM
kristinlala said... Thanks everyone! As far at the ITY- I used narrow zig zag on the inside hems and that was no problem...it was the double stitching that was hard..sometimes they were wobbly. I finally fixed that, etc, but after I had taken out those stitches I think the material was a little stretched (neckline and down the front of the wraps) I think using hem tape/facing stuff is the way to go with the ITY for me next time!!! :) 3/27/10 11:39 PM

Blooms said... That is a fabulous dress. I love the fabric too. I have just bought this pattern, as I liked it better than the famous Vogue 8379, and I am delighted to see that it looks so good on you. I hope it works out so well for me. 3/30/10 7:11 AM
CynthiaSue said... stunning! wow you are 5'10? I will follow your stuff. I'm almost 5'9 and have to make tall alterations all the time. 3/31/10 9:53 PM
sewinfrance said... Your dress is beautiful on you. pattern matching isn't easy, but you were right to go more for colour matching on the sleeves, it would have been difficult with your print. With the skirt it is more important to match the pattern. You did a great job. 4/1/10 3:56 AM
