SueV said... I would recommend Vogue 1160 for a slip, it's much nicer and just as easy. I would not recommend this pattern's slip. 7/8/10 11:33 AM
Fran G said... I think this is one of the cutest ,most chic, trendy dresses that I have seen reviewed. I am very tempted to make it for my daughter but she is not easily available for fittings and there is too much work to just wing it! The key to this dress is fabric choice and you nailed it! Thanks for the review. 7/9/10 8:07 AM
Q Valley Mary said... I like your idea of wearing this dress as a tunic. The print fabric would work well with dark leggings. Would it also work to lengthen the skirt to the knees, or would that be too complicated for this pattern? 7/9/10 11:29 AM
SueV said... Q Valley Mary: you could lengthen it. There are 2 rows of tucks at the bottoms, but the "skirt" part is basically rectangles. But, I think part of what makes this look modern is that it is short... any longer may look frumpy, like a long shapeless column. 7/9/10 5:32 PM
