Very pretty dress! I really like the color too. You did an excellent job transforming the Vogue pattern into a "knock-off" of the dress in the magazine, but of course it will fit much better.

Beautiful dress. Your daughter is very lucky. I have a hard time believing that it is "easy to sew." I think that it would not be so easy for me.

So pretty. I really love the pleats across the top. Your daughter is going to be the belle of the ball!

I'll have to take your word on the easy instructions B ut it is * absolutely stunning*! I agree, the pleating is wonderful! Kudos!

Wow! Such a beautiful dress! Lovely color too. Can't wait to see pics of your daughter.

Debe, that is so beautiful! I really love the bodice, you did a wonderful job! -Ann

Beautiful! I love the pleating. Can't wait to see the pictures of your daughter wearing it.

This is an absolutely stunning dress! Wonderful job-It looks just like the one in the magazine picture, only better. Your daughter is a very lucky girl and I hope she has a great time at prom!

Very classy dress. Your daughter is sure to be the envy of the other girls!

Such a professional job, yours looks better than the wedding dress!

Congratulations on a gorgeous dress. What a lucky girl your daughter is!

Wow. Want to adopt me, so you can make me dresses? Much nicer than either the original pattern or the dress you are copying. (I agree; that one does look like it's about to fall off.) -- I had to test the new edit feature that Deepika added. Didn't really need to edit my comment.

Debe what a gorgeous dress! Your daughter is so lucky to have such a talented mom :) The finished dress is even better than the inspiration dress. Thanks for your review and the beautiful photo.

This is a gorgeous dress Debe. This looks better than many RTW gowns that I have seen.

Pretty pretty pretty.

Wow, that's just beautiful! The pleats are a beautiful addition to the original pattern.

Amazingly gorgeous, Debe. All of your modifications to the pattern made it even more beautiful. I'm printing out the pictures and the review for my DD to see...something tells me that she will want one just like it one of these days. Thank you sooo much for sharing this review. Your sewing expertise just shines in your creation. Since it was made for your DD, I imagine that every stitch was sewed with love.

Thank you all so much!! The encouragement we get here from others who also love to sew makes all the time and effort seem even more worthwhile. jlg- This pattern would absolutely be easy for you. (you have made a wonderful wardrobe for yourself) But I realized that I should have "qualified" the "easy to sew" rating for this review by saying that the pattern as it is meant to be made would be easy to sew. The pleating wasn't so easy. I would love to have the instructions from the designer of the dress I copied! I'm sure it wasn't done the way I did it. :)

Knock out knock off! Love the bag, also. Lucky, lucky daughter. Can't wait to see the prom photos!
4/17/04 12:37 PM
Absolutely stunning!
4/17/04 3:06 PM
I'm in awe! The dress is absolutely stunning. It looks JUST LIKE the dress in the magazine. Wonderful job and your daughters a lucky girl :)

Lovely. I am sure your DD will look great.
4/18/04 6:46 AM
Wow! It's obvious from the photos that your daughter feels beautiful in her amazingly gorgeous gown. Date doesn't look too unhappy himself.... ;-) Snaps to you Debe!!

WOW!! How lucky your daughter is, and she looks beautiful in this dress. Yours does look better than the one in the magazine. Kudos to you on a job very well done.
4/18/04 7:19 PM
What a stunner! Beautiful dress on a beautiful girl- I bet she turned a lot of heads! Nothing homemade looking about that gown!
4/18/04 7:43 PM
What a fabulous dress - your daughter must have been *SO* thrilled - she looks fantastic. Excellent, inspiring dressmaking!
4/18/04 8:00 PM
Just beautiful! The pleating is a wonderful detail at the bodice. Excellent work. Impressive.

Your daughter had to be the Belle of the Ball. The gown is a head-turner, as is your daughter. Congratulations on a fabulous creative: the gown is breath-taking.

Thank you so much everyone for your comments. I edited the photos because I realized in the night that I should have cropped them so that my sweet girl and her date's faces weren't on the WWW. Also, please read about my criticle mistake in the update.
4/19/04 10:03 AM
Wow, it looks even better on your daughter than it did in the previous photo. I hope she was grateful!
