Mary Reed said... Thank you so much for reviewing this pattern. Although I noticed it, I didn't really consider it. Your review made me look again. It looks wonderful on you. 6/27/04 0:18 AM
PVA said... Beautiful dress -- thanks for this review. I've always thought the underarm gusset made for a very flattering raglan sleeve. Haven't seen that in a pattern for a very long time! I'll have to take a close look at this pattern. (So much fabric, so little time!) 6/27/04 1:27 AM
Tini said... The dress is really beautiful and your picture is much better than the envelope, where you can't see all the details at the neckline! 6/27/04 2:51 AM
jlg said... How great that you reviewed this. I picked up this pattern this week at the Hancock's Vogue sale. It looks great on you. 6/27/04 6:19 AM

Meredith P said... Wow! I never would have given this pattern a second glance. Yours looks great! 6/27/04 7:13 AM
alicia said... What a great dress. It looks so comfortable. I'm 5'4" too so your advice will help if I can convince my DH that I really don't have THAT much of a pattern stash... 6/27/04 8:55 AM
drsue said... What a great dress!!! I haven't ever noticed this pattern before. Underarm gussets are notoriously difficult to make but result in beautiful raglan sleeves with no wrinkles. I can't even image how hard they are with a knit fabric. 6/27/04 9:27 AM

Teri said... What a nice dress. Like drsue, I have not noticed this pattern yet. I really like it. Thanks for the very informative review. 6/27/04 11:19 AM
AnneM said... Lovely dress! Thanks for lightening the picture. I thought you had sewn in an inset at the neckline; either way it looks good that way. Looks like a very interesting pattern all around; thanks for the review. And I just missed the pattern sale! 6/27/04 6:20 PM
Ann Smith said... I made this dress a few years back and also found it extremely low cut. I added a bit of crocheted lace stitched on to the underside which solved the problem beautifully. It is a great dress. 6/27/04 7:45 PM
KathleenS said... Great dress which should be very useful. The slip inset at the neckline is a very popular look at the moment. Thanks for the helpful review. 6/29/04 3:54 AM
AuntieShel said... Thanks for reviewing this view of this pattern. I've had this pattern for a while and not made it yet. I thought the neckline looked quite low--now I know for sure. I think underarm gussets are such a nice touch--one of Donna Karan's very first Vogue patterns back in the 80's was tops with underarm gussets--wish I had held on to that pattern. They're time consuming, but worth it, I think. Beautiful dress. 6/29/04 12:50 PM
