I really like your dress. I was all ready to add the pattern to my wish list until I saw that to get it this cute you had to do some major morphing. UGH!

All your changes turned it into a really sharp looking dress. Love it in denim. Perfect for a girls out weekend. Happy Birthday!

I really love this! A shirtdress is on my list...and you've tempted me to do denim!

All your changes were worth it - the dress looks really sharpon you, and you look very happy in it.

It looks great-the topstitching really adds a nice detail.

Cindy, your vision was realized by creative morphing and the result is very chic. Your precise needlework is exquisite and I particularly like your addition of the multi-topstitched belt. Very you! Lovely, Lily

What a great knockoff. Looks exactly like the original. Your topstitching is just faultlessly perfect. So professional. Lovely dress and you wear it well.

Oh what an awesome dress Cindy!!! Your topstitching looks so perfect too - graet work!!!!

Very well done. Your changes definitely improved the pattern.

that is such a brilliant result, spot on for your inspiration (as if any sane person would pay $104, let alone $298 when we can create it ourselves!) and in fact I think yours looks even better. This style really suits you so perhaps you need 'just one more'?? Love it!

Very nice dress, you did a great job on the alterations to get the look you wanted.

Great looking shirtdress, the topstitching really makes the dress.

Very stylish dress, Cindy! Your changes make your dress more stunning than your inspiration. Don't forget to update skill level- you are already at the couture level!!!

I don't think I've ever SEEN such PERFECT topstitching. :o) LOVE the addition of the collar stand (and the belt with the trapunto stitching). It's PERFECT-A-MUNDO! :O)
