It sounds like a winner. Perhaps soon you could post a photo of this dress. I have mixed results with these patterns but I keep trying them.

Thanks for the comments. I would post a picture if I had a digital camera and knew how!! My son promises to teach me. I forgot to mention another detail that I think helps with Loes Hinse patterns in general. I often use Seams Great (it's a commercial seam binding product) on seams and edges, especially with high-ravel material. On this dress I used it on the neckline edge, the sleeve hems and the bottom hem. I attach it with the zig-zag feature of my machine and it is very easy and quick. It gives the edge a very finished look and is smooth next to the skin. My favorite notion!
