Re Becca said... I don't know where you got that fabric, but I swear it shows up on the Linton Tweed website. Your dress looks fabulous. Thanks for the informative review. 5/1/12 9:36 PM
Dilliander said... Becca, I got it locally in Sydney at The Fabric Store, and had no idea it originally came from Linton Tweed! It is possible as they source ex designer and end of roll fashion house fabrics. However Australia is so far from the UK. Thanks for letting me know. 5/1/12 9:43 PM

NJcowgirl said... You made all those alterations and you're still happy with it, it turned out beautifully, and you recommend it. Who can ask for anything more. It is a beautiful dress. Great job. Thanks for the informative review. Appreciate it. 5/1/12 10:17 PM
Dilliander said... NJ cowgirl, yes there were a few alterations, some just me being finicky, and in hindsight an easier way to fix the neck gaping may have been a simple square shoulder adjustment, something I've only just come to understand. However this approach worked and I plan to use the pattern as a TNT in future, so am happy with it as is. Thanks for your kind comments everyone. 5/1/12 10:44 PM
