MaryBeth said... This set is quite good looking with the contrast stripe and princess lines. I love your use of FOE to do the side seam detail, brilliant! I also have not been entirely pleased with drawstring elastic, mine fall down! So far I prefer making my own with elastic in the waistband and running a drawstring through eyelets. 5/21/04 10:07 AM

Monica R said... Mary, I love it. Your top & pants turned out great. I glanced over this in the Burda mag last month but now I've got to try it. Thanks for a great review. 5/21/04 12:16 PM
Becky Coleman said... As always, Mary, your clothes look great! I like the way you used stripes (I was looking for color block, so it was a surprise :) ) Good job! Becky 5/21/04 5:39 PM
Diane E said... Mary, your set is wonderful and very couture! I love the striped tee front. Looks terrific. I love the detailed review and inspiration. 5/22/04 10:52 AM
AnneM said... That's nice! I like the color-blocking and the lines of this top. Nice alternative to a typical T. 5/22/04 2:34 PM
Danvillegirl said... Both look very good on you. I have this magazine and I keep looking at the patterns for the top. I think I can make it fit but may need to grade down a little. Thank you for reviewing. Love the stripes and solids together. 5/22/04 7:57 PM
JeanetteE said... VERY cute tee. Love it. Now to dig out my copy of that mag... 5/23/04 11:24 AM
Rennie Ashby said... Mary, I've recently fallen in love with BWOF. Your part of the reason I've actually started using them instead of just thinking of it as a fashion mag. Your outfits always look so RTW and professional. 5/23/04 1:29 PM
Izzie said... Mary, Very creative use of fabric! Your tops look better than the magazine pictures! 5/24/04 2:47 PM
Mbarkle said... thanks everyone for the nice comments. I decided to make a mini capsule for an upcoming vacation and used the sleeveless t pattern and the pants pattern for some capris. Click on the link above and hit *next*. Rennie, do give them a try. Once you get past the tracing issues, they are wonderful. Fantastic designs and great fit. 5/24/04 6:49 PM
Diana M said... SO nice to hear that there patterns for a full bust without adjustment. Thank you for a great review -- and for showing us your great job! 6/4/04 9:01 PM
