Mich23 said... Thank you very much. I'm just getting into sewing clothes, having only done a couple of things before (plus bags and accessories as gifts etc., and a simple soft toy or two), so I think I'm just surprised that I've done it. 2/26/11 1:32 PM

Mich23 said... @TerukoLynn - the bit I didn't get initially was when the pattern tells you to turn the buttonholes inside out. What it means is to push the loose square of fabric through the hole just cut so the little squares are now on the wrong side of the bodice. Then fold the bottom and top edges of the square so the meet in a horizontal line along the middle of the buttonhole, press and loosely stitch together. Once you've got the idea I promise it's easier than it sounds!
Thank you all for such lovely comments. 2/27/11 2:33 AM

pinkli said... fantastic dress. It suits you so well, and looks a million dollars (I can't believe it cost so little!). Great review too - very informative. 5/13/12 10:21 AM
