Christas said... Even if you aren't a "dress person" this one looks really nice on you! Thanks for the very thorough review. I am not familiar with Neue Mode. No English instructions? I probably won't sew that brand, but it's apparent that you do quite well with German instructions from the look of your dress! 3/3/11 5:27 PM

MNBarb said... Everything about this dress is good on you; the color, the cut the length, the style. UGH, no instructions! I'm always amazed when sewists say, "Oh, I didn't even look at the instructions" and then turn out a perfectly executed garment. You did a wonderful job on this dress and may need to make it again some day. 3/3/11 9:08 PM
Nan Kay said... Nice dress, it is a good style for you. I hadn't seen a Neue Mode pattern in years! Don't read or speak German so guess I won't be trying them soon either! 3/3/11 10:10 PM
Picnicfan said... In spite of all the difficulties with the pattern, your dress turned out really well and looks fantastic on you. The colour and fabric design is very attractive too. 3/4/11 2:26 AM
FreyaStark said... The fabric is gorgeous and the dress looks lovely on you, so it was worth the effort. You might even become a dress person! 3/4/11 4:52 AM

Klutzy said... I'm looking at some NM patterns today and came here to read reviews. Although Sewingpatterns.com says NM no longer ships to the US, Neuemode.com says they do, $4.75 or $7.25 for the first pattern and $1.25 for each additional. Also the PDF instructions are now shown in English and German, the first thing I checked--lack of seam allowances would be more than enough for me to deal with! Their site is not very user-friendly, but the patterns are nice. JETrinity, your dress looks lovely, and so do the other garments I've read about, so I'm going to give NM a try. Hoping for a fit improvement over the Big 4, which I'm pretty fed up with, as the older I get the less boyish my figure becomes! 3/16/13 1:29 PM
