Leslie in Austin said... Katharine, that is beyond fab. I can see why you're getting the eye--this skirt really flatters your '50s bombshell curves. 8/16/04 12:29 PM
Asa Hagstrom said... Looking really good! I should review mine too (I love it! )... :) Did you shorten the flounce - it looks longer in the picture? Also, did you make a smaller size because of using a knit? 8/16/04 1:26 PM
PVA said... I'm not surprised you're bringing out the wolf in the male population! Smashing look, and looks like a great fit! Thanks for the review. 8/16/04 1:47 PM
alicia said... Wow - talk about a lot of "bang" for such a small amount of time! Looks great! 8/16/04 2:09 PM
touran said... You look simply bodacious!! You look like you've earned the positive response. It's a gorgeous look on you. As Asa asked, is your flounce different to the pattern's? 8/16/04 3:52 PM

jlg said... Very pretty on you. I like that fabric. 8/16/04 5:35 PM
JDpenelope said... Wow. That skirt is so special! Regarding the elastic length, I've been confused by KS's elastic instructions--different patterns call for different lengths for the same waist size! I'm not sure, but possibly it has something to do with whether the elastic is inserted in a casing and not sewn (as much anyway)... or sewn, zigzagging onto the fabric , one or more times. I believe I read that stitching makes elastic expand and become less stretchy. 8/16/04 7:17 PM
AnneM said... What a great style for you. I wouldn't have guessed that was done with this pattern, based on the pattern drawings. Glad your asymmetrical version worked out for you as well. 8/16/04 7:44 PM

AnneM said... Ahh, now it looks more like the pattern drawing - except better! 8/17/04 7:06 AM
Rennie Ashby said... Great skirt! Wonder what would happen if you were to wear this with the famous boobalicious top (Simplicity 5255)? Might should be a law against it. ;-) 8/17/04 8:57 AM

Tini said... this is absolutley stunning! You look awesome :) is your DH guarding you, when you're wearing this skirt? lol :) 8/18/04 1:14 PM
jlg said... Katherine, does your skirt have slits in the side seams as the pattern description says? I can't tell from the photo. If so, do you like them? 11/30/04 1:56 PM
