This is gorgeous. It looks like something a Renaissance queen would have worn!

Beautiful job! I would love to see the front if you get a chance. :)

Beautiful! You did a great job.

I agree with Elona--it does look very period-y. Really beautiful! I'd love to see a picture of the front...

Wow Iris, that is a spectacular rendition of that pattern! I had looked at it several times, but never thought of attempting it. The idea of making it a dressing gown is very good. If only I had the chaise longue to go with it!

You can all look in my photo album to see various other views of this dress. Go to: http://www.friendsofpr.com/iriscolo/album.html

Gorgeous coat! I have had this pattern for while. I hope to make an evening coat sometime later this year, but before the formal Holiday Parties begin. I will probably interline mine as it gets darn cold in CT in the winter. I love, love, love this pattern. You did a beautiful job. Thank you for sharing the review and the picture

Fabulous job of matching the fabric patterns on the front! Just gorgeous! -Ann

Wow--terrific!! If you've got misaligned front hooks, it certainly doesn't show. I'm sure you look outstanding in it with your coloring and eyes.

The "misalignment" is probably no more than 1/16" of an inch and only in one little section. I tend to be very critical of my sewing. Thank you all very much for you glowing comments and praise. My next venture will probably be the spectacular red late-victorian dress in my photo album.

Hi, I was going to ask to see you in the dress, but I just saw your comment above. Thank you very much for the pictures. They're beautiful! :)

What a terrific review of this pattern. I've had my eyes on it, but am afraid to attempt. Your version is gorgeous. I'm dying to know though - where in the world did you wear it? I have NO occasion this would be suited for, LOL! :)

Beautiful job on this creation. I love this pattern as well, but have not yet made it. I looked at your photo album; you have some very dramatic and creative clothes. I love to look at something other than blue jeans and a t-shirt, as practical as that outfit must be. Thank you for inspiration.

Spectacular. I wish you could make something like this in a heavier fabric so you can actually keep warm in it, but the pattern back says,"dupioni, brocade, etc." so I believe that if I want to make this, I should (if I value my sanity) do as they say. It is just gorgeous.

I'm dying to make this now! How was sizing? Does it fit big - they sell it as 6-8-10 or 12-14-16, I usually am between 10 and 12, 10 on top and 12 below. But things end up big, I'm thinking buy the smaller one??? I can't figure out how to write you a message!

Now THIS is my kind of evening outfit! I love getting dressed up for a fancy night out. You will definitely get LOTS of attention when you wear this beauteous creation!
