Cambric Tea said... Great job! Neat fabrics, and good fit. 6/17/05 8:28 PM
QuickFade said... Very cute! Does the dress call for any sort of special bra cup construction or is it just a lined bust area? 6/17/05 8:36 PM
drsue said... So pretty! Excellent fabric choice! 6/17/05 9:17 PM
Lori V said... So pretty, love you fabric combo. 6/17/05 9:26 PM

Vonnevo said... Beautiful dress! Fit, style and fabric choice are excellent. A great first review..looking forward to to seeing more :))) 6/17/05 9:35 PM

Hilary said... Wow, you look gorgeous in your new dress-and you did a beautiful job sewing it. I like the fabric choices. I think yours looks better than the cover-I have this too, and was wondering about it. Thanks for the review! 6/18/05 8:31 AM
jemgirlca said... Cute dress, I like the fabric combination. 6/18/05 9:51 AM
LisaLS said... So cute! I have this pattern sitting in my stash. Thanks for the tip on the sizing! 6/18/05 10:33 AM
Nancy Anne said... Very, very pretty. I can see your point in that this would make a lovely formal dress. In a shimmery fabric it would be stunning! 6/18/05 11:51 AM
debbie.w said... great job - you look like a Barbie doll! 6/18/05 11:54 AM

Schnauzer said... What a lovely dress.Well done! 6/19/05 7:00 PM
contrariwise said... Thanks for all your comments! To PopoAgie - the dress just has a lined bust area. The back is high enough to conceal a strapless bra if needed, but I think the halter strap might be a bit too curvy to conceal a halter bra. 6/19/05 7:18 PM
Noile said... Beautiful, well-made and so becoming! Fun choice of fabrics. 7/19/05 9:04 PM
Pam Z said... Your olive knit version is lovely on you. Fantastic fit. 4/22/06 10:52 PM

Celeste said... Cool style. I have a Laura Ashley sundress pattern from about 1979 that is really neat and I wish they'd bring it back, it's another really clever sundress design with buttons all down the front and thin cloth straps that button onto a band that goes straight across the top. I've never seen it on a used patter site--yet. 4/22/06 11:07 PM
Lori V said... Both of your dresses are darling. Thanks for the pictures and the review, I have this pattern for my dds. 4/22/06 11:55 PM
dorothyn said... Both of your dresses are really cute, and very flattering, though you have such a nice figure I'm sure most things look good on you! They look nicely made too - maybe you are past the beginner stage. 4/23/06 0:14 AM
CarolynGM said... Another great dress. The lace is a nice touch. 4/23/06 8:15 AM

deesdee said... Lovely, what a superb fit!! 7/11/06 1:05 AM
fuzzygalore said... Wow, you're so productive :-)! I can understand, you look so good in these and your fabrics are so well put together that I'd have a hard time wearing anything else too... 7/11/06 3:05 AM
Sew4Fun said... Nice dress. It looks lovely on you. I like the way you used the fabrics. 7/11/06 6:36 AM
KimP said... This is my favorite version so far. Great use of your striped fabric - you have a great eye for color too! 7/11/06 9:07 AM
Karen6790 said... I just cut this out last night -- now I can't wait to get started. I don't know which version I like best, but I'm really encouraged by how many ways you can tweak this pattern. Beautiful work. 7/11/06 11:09 AM

Bonny Dune said... Wow! What wonderful variations! I love your rust dress. Now I have to go buy this pattern. You have inspired me. 9/19/06 10:04 PM
KitnRose said... Your dresses just keep getting better! I liked the first one (which is saying a lot because I'm just not a black/white/yellow fan - not that they class, just personal preference) and want my own version of your green dress. So cute! You've got a serious talent for doing the things that bump it up from a nice dress to something that looks like it came from a designer shop tucked somewhere in NYC. Great job! 4/14/07 9:29 PM
