Kemish said... I recently made this one (but have not reviewed it). I too added sleeves to my dress, but mine is very long - liek hit the floor too long. I need to shorten it about 10 inches so I hung it up in the closet and there is hangs . . . I should get it finished and review it, too. 3/23/12 7:38 PM

I love the way the stripes change direction, the colors, and the length of the sleeves. I have fabric for this dress and have been waiting for warmer weather to make it. Now you've got me thinking about spring. 3/24/12 10:43 AM
Batik said... I love it, stripes and all. This is a bold pattern and calls for some drama, why bother making it all in black for instance? Reminds me of Helena Bonham Carter and I love her sense of style. The sleeves are great too. Must make this pattern! 3/24/12 9:26 PM

Phillis2 said... You did a great job! I've looked at this pattern for a while and have been reading reviews from those who've attempted it. Since the pattern was on sale at JoAnn's (70% off) I figured it was a good time to purchase I like that you added sleeves and just might do the same when I try it. 5/31/12 8:01 PM

Sherry Art said... You did a fantastic job. A very creative dress--and flattering on you, as well. I think the stripes are fabulous. 2/3/13 11:49 AM
