Athene said... Too bad there were so many issues with the pattern. I think the dress looks really nice on you from the front, but I do see where the lower half of the back zipper seems shifted toward one side - from the pull of the front crossover perhaps - or maybe I am not looking properly. Anyhow I think you did a fabulous job with what sounds like a very difficult poorly drafted pattern. Noile also had issues with the pattern according to her review. Auntie Allyn's dress turned out really well but she stated in her review that she used a knit fabric, so perhaps Vogue should have made this pattern mainly for knits. 9/14/10 5:55 PM
