Elona said... The dress looks great--and your persistence in the face of so many errors in the pattern is amazing. Congratulations! 2/3/12 11:29 AM
EleanorSews said... The result is quite nice. Seems like a huge amount of effort though ~ no wonder it is now OOP! 2/3/12 11:47 AM
ClioBklyn said... Wow! What a PITA! But it does look nice on you. Nice save on a bum pattern! 2/3/12 12:08 PM
pterion said... Ha, I love your title (Mediocre Mock Wrap Dress). Luckily you are a savvy enough sewer to craft a very stylish and flattering dress from this poorly engineered pattern. If I find this one I will avoid it. 2/3/12 1:39 PM
KensingtonCrab said... Wow! I think you are an engineer with your pattern adjustments! Great review as always and the dress is very flattering on you! 2/3/12 1:52 PM

Sew4Fun said... Fantastic review, thanks! Lovely dress in spite of the instructions. :) 2/3/12 4:19 PM
KathleenS said... I like your dress a lot. It's a good thing you've emphasised your warning against it so strongly because otherwise I might be tempted! 2/3/12 4:53 PM
Zacky said... You did a great job on makeing this from a pattern thats aparently not worth the paper its printed on. It did turn out very nice. 2/3/12 6:06 PM
jenleeC said... Thank goodness you ended up with a lovely well fitting dress! And your review will ensure a few less wadders and a lot less frustration for the rest of the sewing community! 2/3/12 6:50 PM

ChristineX said... Great review and at least the finished product looks good from here. The 'mediocre mock wrap dress' title made me lol 2/3/12 10:42 PM
FreyaStark said... I agree with others: the dress looks good on you despite the difficulties of making the pattern work, and your effort to make the best of it is most impressive. Thanks for a detailed review. I'm sure it will be valuable to others. 2/4/12 2:09 AM
