Meredith P said... Thanks for the review, Julia. I have this pattern, but have been hesitant to make it, noticing the depth of the wrap front. Your idea of sewing it closed is a good one, and appears to have solved the problem of "overexposure". Very helpful. 4/9/04 7:34 AM
Sherril Miller said... This pattern keeps calling to me. I wish I had your tiny shape for it. It looks super on you. Great idea about the tape in the neckline. 4/9/04 12:06 PM
KitnRose said... Very pretty and unique. You should try Vogue 7647, it's got similar lines but a different waist and neck that I think you could really pull off. 4/14/04 2:31 PM
Julia Graham said... KitnRose--funny you should say that--I'm one of the two people who have already reviewed Vogue 7647 at this site. It does work very well for me. Good eyes! :-) 4/15/04 5:55 AM
