Sue Parrott said... I have this pattern and just haven't figured out what sort of fabric to use. I love the casual look of yours and think that is my plan! Thanks for sharing! 5/12/12 8:15 AM
MarshaG. said... I loved this pattern when I saw it in the catalog, but I knew it was too dressy for my lifestyle. YOU made it work and I think your pieced rendition is a wonderful improvement on the pattern........something more of us would wear. I've saved all of your snapshots for inspiration! 5/12/12 9:39 AM
magpie57 said... Love the color blocking and how the sleeves look like you are wearing a separate shawl over your shoulders. Lovely, stylish dress. 5/12/12 9:49 AM

Creative use of old t's
Practical use of an awesome pattern that I would have normally overlooked
Wearable daily dress that is cute, comfortable and unusual without looking like an old house dress 5/12/12 9:51 AM

lorenakitty said... What a winner! I purchased this pattern thinking the photo was a little formal but thought after looking at the line drawing the pattern could be fun for mixing up fabrics somehow. Your version is quite inspirational! 5/12/12 6:34 PM

yummymummy38 said... I never envisaged this as anything but a cocktail dress, but I absolutely love this version, arty and more wearable than the DK envelope version, actually I prefer it to the envelope version! 5/14/12 9:10 AM
oh2bejoy said... Beautiful! I am a new sewer and am hoping to make this in a long version for my mother of the bride dress this October. 5/18/12 1:53 PM
aaltje said... Really beautiful. I love the colour blocking, and the pattern looks very flattering indeed. I added it to my wish list right away (after staring at it for a year without any inspiration at all)... 7/30/12 9:52 AM
