Debbie Cook said... I'm glad the pattern "surprise" was a good one. This looks like it will be a fun skirt to wear, and I really like your idea for the more formal silk version with lace. Great zip tip too! 5/29/05 12:59 PM
KarmenG said... Thanks for the good review. This is a pretty skirt. Someone else had recently reviewed the skirt and I'm getting the idea the godet is a "pain" but worth it. Your skirt looks beautiful.

Gigi Louis said... So pretty! I just love NM patterns. 5/29/05 1:41 PM
jlg said... Very nice. I also like the idea of the lace godet. That would be very cool. 5/29/05 1:50 PM
CarolynGM said... This is a very cool skirt, apparently with lots of possibilities for future incarnations. I had seen the other review also and was intrigued by the unusual godet. Does it make you look taller? 5/29/05 3:23 PM
drsue said... Irena: I don't think it makes me look taller because of all the fullness. I think "view D" might do that though. I don't think it makes me look shorter at least! 5/29/05 3:58 PM
PVA said... Thanks for the review -- you make this pattern sound like a wardrobe-builder when I'd never know that just looking at a photo in the catalogue. I love your skirt, & I really thank you for the construction method for a FF! (as in "Me too"!) I'll have to look at your tip for a centered zipper -- I saw it on the home page but I didn't "get it" so I haven't read it yet. So, TIA! 5/29/05 4:30 PM
MaryBeth said... Took one look and said, "That's Linda's skirt!" They both are fantastic and I'm in love the the poofy godet theory. I'd love to see it on you drsue. Perhaps the poofy godet would add width to my frame but you'd look smashing, I'll bet. 5/29/05 4:34 PM

Danvillegirl said... Wow! we were pretty much on the same wave length in making this skirt. Looks almost like the same color. I had the same issue with godet matching up but forgot that when I wrote my review. I just evened it up when I serge finished the skirt edge and it came out okay. I love the poofy godet. Sorry you did not like that feature. I think the drapeyier the fabric, the better it folds and lays. It is hard to iron. I might try putting the zipper in the back next time. 5/29/05 6:10 PM
PegL said... What a great skirt! I look forward to seeing your next version! 5/29/05 6:30 PM
KiwiWendy said... This pattern's godet idea is a great one ... even if the ironing is a real problem. You've made a "flat" pattern come alive 5/29/05 11:47 PM
