Jane S said... Wonderful! I too love this pattern and am thinking of making a dress length as well. Thanks for inspiring me to continue with that plan. 6/27/10 8:41 PM

Frozzy said... Great idea to make this into a dress. Just purchased this pattern, and have not made it up yet. Now I'm thinking tops AND a dress! 6/28/10 2:46 PM
Frozzy said... How much fabric did it take to do the dress? The size S is the same size I would make, and I like the length you did. I'm trying to use up my stash (ha!), and have a dark brown "swimwear" piece. 6/28/10 2:50 PM
Immelu said... Hi Frozzy, I made another one last night, so I just went and measured it. The dress is about 45 inches from shoulder to hem...I'll put on about 1 inch hem. I used 60" wide fabric and I was able to lay the pieces out side by side, so it only took a yard and a half or so (45 inches). For reference, I'm about 5'5", maybe 5'6" if I stand up straight. 6/28/10 9:56 PM
