When I looked at the pattern envelope photo, I thought, "Why would a pretty young woman want to wear a dowager dress?" You've made this a pretty young woman dress: the fit is fabulous, the print is eye-catching, your detail work is perfect. Scrumptious! Michael needs to hire you.

Lovely dress.! love love the print of the fabric too. I am just shaking my head over here....85 views and just 2 comments !. If an older poster comes here and posts her work even if it is junk,she will get more than 30 comments in a an hr or so.But a newbie no matter how great they do,nobody bothers to encourage them.

ah ah Lillyhill, I had the exact same thought last night!! I love your dress and your review. I agree with you on polyester, it is hot and doesn't breathe. Awful stuff.

Fantastic dress... I am going to review your links for tips. I wondered at the pattern envelope too - it's such a sexy Mad Men'ish dress, yet the pattern shows it stripped of all it's vavavoom. Love your version, well done!

Beautiful job!!! I have this pattern but haven't done anything with it yet. It looks gorgeous on you. I'm curious what you think about "figure flattery" as vogue is now rating their patterns. I'm more of a rectangle... think it would still work?

Thanks for the great tips. I'm just about to start this pattern, and you've already helped me! The dress looks fabulous, and I hope that mine looks just as good too.
