Auntie Susan said... How creatively imaginative you (and Cathy) are! I so envy you living next to the NYC garment district. I remember when Boston used to have a small fabric/garment district that shrunk to nothing, now I live in Colorado where I need to use mail order for any fabric of quality. 5/25/10 10:52 AM

kittykate said... oh dear, nasty flashback to 1973 home ec when I saw that full length back zipper. Very nice job. 5/25/10 5:52 PM
FreyaStark said... That should be Selfless Seamstress. What a wonderful gift. It must be Cathy's most elegant dress yet. 5/25/10 6:27 PM

Nancy Rhodes said... got to just love it! Perfect match/find of $2 fabric and pattern.
Thanks! 5/26/10 10:39 AM
Margaret said... Thanks for this review! What a coincidence, I just made Vogue 1118 which is very similar, but it's intriguing to see the slight differences -- mine doesn't have the back neckband (which might help the raised neckline stay up better) and its tie ends extend around the back inside the dress. LOVE Cathy's photo shoot, as always! I think it looks great in this crepe, very 70s. 5/26/10 1:22 PM
MarinaVK said... great presentation! looking forward to see more 5/27/10 11:19 PM
Annika said... Wondrous! Reminds me of ...
But they're cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,

MaryDB said... OMG I have this pattern! I am so tempted to make it up soon. Great job, looks terrific. 6/1/10 11:22 PM
AnneM said... I thought that was slightly retro. What a neat style. You know, if Cathy is my size maybe you should send the dresses my way after the photo shots. 6/5/10 9:29 PM
barebear said... The dress looks so swishy! I wish I could pull off a dress like this like Cathy can. She looks fabulous! And the photo shoot was great. :) 6/8/10 5:25 PM
