Gelbean said... The dress is lovely! The story about having to seam rip yourself out of it is too funny. Thanks for the review and the laugh. :) 4/13/10 6:37 PM
Barbara V said... This is totally gorgeous on you Annie. LOL about the seam ripper escape. Once you make the lavender crepe version you will have two choices to wear to the wedding! I agree with you..it is a stunning design. 4/13/10 6:46 PM
Christas said... Now that's a new way to get out of a dress - just get your seam ripper!!! LOL! The dress looks very lovely on you! 4/13/10 7:02 PM
SueV said... really cute. I love the dress with this fabric! 4/13/10 7:25 PM

marec said... Hot dress! I had to laugh at your seam ripper story. 4/13/10 7:56 PM
moushka said... Absolutely gorgeous dress on you! Well worth the (too funny) seam ripper fiasco. Can't wait to see the lavender one. Please post a pic when it's done. You'll look fabulous at the wedding. 4/13/10 8:06 PM
Nursebennett said... Lovely dress and a great job. Thanks for the laugh about the try on. I've not managed that particular feat.........yet. :) 4/13/10 8:20 PM
MaryDB said... Wow, I'd never have thought that navy techno taffeta could look so good! Nice job, pretty dress, and lol on the seam ripper escapade. 4/13/10 9:24 PM
Auntchelle said... Great dress. I love navy dressy-dresses but I can't wait to see the lavender one. I totally understand having to deconstruct to get out of a dress - it has happened to me too. Couldn't get it above or below my more-than-ample boobs. 4/14/10 0:24 AM
Mary Nanna said... wow that looks fantastic .. I am a huge fan of making garments twice rather than muslining the first one - why do all that work and not be able to wear it afterwards? Your first version is just gorgeous and I will use it to vindicate my laziness! 4/14/10 2:09 AM
o3b said... I love your seam ripper story. It's very helpful for fitting/fabric info. It was good to read you are making one for a wedding. When I saw the photo (and thus had to come read your review), my first thought was "that would be great for a wedding". 4/14/10 2:22 AM
susiestitcher said... Whoah! Your muslin could be the actual dress for the wedding. You look gorgeous in it. I am certain the next one will also be a stunner. Love the seam ripper story, as it is exactly something that would happen to me! 4/14/10 7:21 AM
becca a said... Great dress! Very funny about seam ripping your way out of the dress. It looks great now and thanks for the heads up about using stretch fabric for this dress. 4/14/10 8:36 AM
MamaSewing said... YOu story is so hysterical, and since your dress looks so sophisticated one would never guess what a pickle you were in!!! 4/14/10 9:41 AM
Vintage Joan said... Thanks for the helpful information! Yikes, I don't know how you remained calm (if you did) while snipping your way out of a dress. Just thinking about it gives me claustrophobia. Eek! You look FABULOUS in this dress, by the way. 4/14/10 1:31 PM
redhotpepper said... Very nice and, I have to admit, I've had to do the same thing! My husband laughed and did not help me one bit. He did not score points for that one. 4/25/10 0:54 AM
beesknees said... How does the Burda Style number (427) translate to the pattern number you'd find in the store? Thanks. 5/3/10 10:58 PM
brissie71 said... The dress looks gorgeous, and the review made me LOL. I also love your accessories with this outfit. Very stylish.
Luckily, I'm making mine in a stretch cotton (purely by accident. I just really loved the print) so, hopefully, will have extra wiggle room through the hips. 2/7/12 10:35 PM
