Katharin, we love multiple reviews of the same pattern! I am especially glad to learn this worked out for you in CJ c/l which I haven't tried yet. Your color combination sounds pretty.

Katharin, all your garments are really beautiful! You look like a model in your Christine Jonson dress!

Katharin, this is a very helpful review and your dress is beautiful (as are all your other garments!). Thanks for the encouragement to run over to CJ's website and snag this pattern and some fabric!

Katharin, your dress is simply stunning! I love your color combination. I agree that CJ's cotton/lycra is wonderful - by far the best I have worked with. Thanks for your helpful review!

Beautiful dress! All your garments are wonderful, but this is my fav. That stripe really does add a nice touch of color to it.

Hi Kathryn: Your dress turned out fabulous. I have this pattern, but have not yet made it. I am pretty thin and only 5'3", and was worried that it might not have enough shaping through the midsection for me. I was planning on stealing a trick that I use with other dresses of this shape. I usually make a "butterfly clip" in the same fabric of the dress, and attach it to the back at the waistline to control the fullness. These clips were popular a few years back, and can really make the difference between a "maternity looking" dress, and a controlled a-line. Works for me. Anyway, your review makes me want to buy some fabric and give it a whirl!!

My first serged garment was this dress too! I was afraid to put the insert, thought it would look like star-trek! It doesn't at all. You look great! When I first wore my A-line in public, I felt a little strange, like I was in a mumu..but people said it was elegant. Nice to feel so comfortable and elegant, isn't it?

Thank you for all the encouragement! Michele, the idea with a "butterfly clip" sounds interesting for more shaping. I will give it a try for a variation. This dress and fabrics are amazing, as the dress looks chic although it is unshaped.
