manola6176 said... This dress is absolutely gorgeaous and the review so useful. I would never have thought that it was so demanding to be made. You look awesome and I much prefer your fabric than the one on the envelop 2/21/11 3:34 PM

Barbara V said... Here I get to see it finally! Really pretty! One would never guess at all the pattern pieces and steps. You executed them well and have a lovely dress for all your effort. The color looks wonderful on you too. 2/21/11 6:42 PM
beth5646 said... That dress is beautiful and fits you beautifully. I am so jealous of that picture of your upper back/shoulders. It fits you perfectly. Oh, if I could ever get there. Congratulations...another beauty. 2/21/11 7:05 PM
AnneMarie60 said... Wow! Spectacular results! Love the rich color you chose. Great hint about labeling pieces with the painter's tape. Amazing job! 2/21/11 7:20 PM
DorothyK said... Wow. This was quite a project. It came out beautiful. Anyone inspired to make this dress will find your review invaluable. And how ice that all that yardage was in your stash. What will you buy to replace it? :-) 2/21/11 7:30 PM

becca a said... Gorgeous dress! Thanks for the heads up about the multiple pieces. I had no idea it was so complicated from the photo. The flower is a fun feminine touch. 2/21/11 9:09 PM

gill1987 said... HI, I have just got this pattern and I am glad to read your comments. I am thinking I should inerface the front overlay, would you recommend that. 4/26/11 4:45 AM
Ann Smith said... Gil1987: I would definitely interface that front overlay. So odd that they have everything else interfaced but that piece has to support so much weight from the flounce, it needs it more than most of the other pieces. I had a lot of trouble with it and you can see in the pattern photo, the designer did too. 4/27/11 10:38 AM
