snuzal said... Thank you so much ladies, it's good to hear from an outsiders point of view that it looks ok, I can only see all the bad bits of myself lol.
As for the shoes, there's a bit of a story behind them.

Kathy in NM said... What a great LBD! I really like the neckline also. You did a great job fitting the dress, and learning how to put in the invisible zip with lining! This looks great on you! I like your hair style too. Ok, and the shoes - it wasn't til I read the end of your post that I realized you embellished them! Too cool! 9/23/10 3:02 PM
addicted2fabric said... Wow! Fantastic work, you have every right to be very proud. Its turned out beautifully. I agree with everyone else, the neckline is particularly gorgeous the the whole dress is very flattering on you. Great job! 9/23/10 4:45 PM

Sherril Miller said... I LOVE the cardi look. The dress fits and flatters superbly. I hope you get lots of use from this wonderful garment. The shoes are adorable as well. 10/15/10 6:57 PM
snuzal said... Wow - thank you all so much for the comments.
Sherril - I hope I get lots of use from it too, as it is, I haven't worn it yet. I'm considering throwing it on just to go to the doctors this morning haha! 10/17/10 3:35 PM
AnneM said... Wow, you just must be thrilled! Great style, very feminine and flexible. You could even put a little cardigan over that and wear it all winter (although you won't be thinking about that for a few months being down-under). Funny how such a spectacular dress can look so boring on the hanger, but I also love your lining. 10/18/10 7:53 PM
cfholling said... Great job. The shoulders and neckline particularly are sheer perfection. I'm guessing that you could easily adapt the pattern to have a swirly skirt that might be more daytime-ish or just for the variety of it. Love the shoes, too! 10/19/10 12:43 PM
iSewQuiltArt said... This dress is flattering on you and so nicely sewn, you should feel like the cat with the bowl of cream right now!! I wish I had a LGD so nice! 10/19/10 5:56 PM
snuzal said... Interesting thoguth cfholling - I hadn't considered that before, but it would be very easy to adapt the bottom of the pieces to be similar to my Mccalls jacket I did on another review. Would make a fabulous summer dress like that. The mind is tick tick ticking now! 10/19/10 9:24 PM
Mahler said... What a wonderful creation you have sewn there !!!!!!!!! You look beautiful 10/20/10 1:39 PM
ElizabethDee said... Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! The fit is fantastic -- how utterly amazing that this is your first dress -- and the lines are so flattering. You must want to make that dress again (because I want to see it on you again, in a completely different fabric!). And thank you for all the links to the tutorials, which I will use. Enjoy wearing it! 10/21/10 10:55 AM
