What an attractive and comfortable looking dress! I'm looking at my small pile of slinky with some apprehension now!

Pretty dress! I have a couple of pieces of slinky in my stash but I'm scared to try them out. Thanks for the tip on the wondertape.

LOL, I feel the same way as you about slinky. But I love this dress! Fun use of the stripes and you got a great fit.

Thanks everyone - I'm just glad it's over! @ karen n & Levone - sorry if I've put you off, I don't remember having as many problems with it the first time around (15 years ago). I believe there are different weights etc. of slinky - this one was quite thick. One suggestion I would make is to have as few seams as possible (what was I thinking???). This dress is really just an example of an uber bad pairing of pattern and fabric. Oh, I'm editing my review because I realised that I actually used different stitches.

I am not familiar with slinky so don't know the pain you went through, but either way lovely looking end result

This is the most fun review I have ever read!! Sorry for your pain but I love your writing style as much as the dress, which is a knock out by the way!! I hope you get a lot of wear out if it. It looks like it can go all crumpled up into a suitcase and come out fresn and ready to wear!

Very pretty dress. No one would know you had so many problems with the construction.
