TJSEWS said... I disagree that the dress makes you look chunky. I think you look slim in it and it shows off a nice shape. Play with some accessories - maybe you'll feel better about it. But honestly, I think it is very flattering on you. 6/2/10 8:00 PM

sewmaris said... It looks to me like you may have made too large a size. Sheath dresses look better when they are quite fitted - and maybe you ar enot used to fitting your clothing as closely as this style requires. That said - the dress does look nice - and I think maybe you are being a little hard on yourself. Enjoy it! 6/2/10 10:07 PM
FreyaStark said... I agree with the others. It looks pretty good to me, so I hope you get some wear out of it. 6/3/10 5:24 AM
lamstu said... I also think you look quite svelte if not vavavoom in this dress. But I know how it is if it doesn't feel 'right' to you. I suspect most seamstresses have made something that wasn't quite their style at some point; I know that I have! Always something to learn with every project.... 6/3/10 5:26 AM

Lynn67 said... I thought it looked great on you too, and the color is fantastic. I was thinking I should try this dress, but I have the same figure so I'd have the same fitting issues. 6/3/10 9:24 AM
Re Becca said... I think that you would like it with a great print jacket over it. I don't like the way I look in all one color head-to-toe either, but a hit of color like maybe even a belt would make it more appealing to you. 6/3/10 10:26 AM
