Karla Kizer 6/26/05I made a long version this dress for my DD when she was in high school, and it was one of her favorites. Later, I combined it with the Textile Studios Basic dress to make a slimmer-fitting, short version for her. It's a very versatile, reliable pattern. And I LOVE the fabric you used. The simplicity of the dress lets the print play the starring role. Very nice, Peggy.

michellerene 6/26/05Perfect fabric for this simple summer dress!

ryan's mom 6/27/05What a great print for this dress! These styles always look great with an interesting print like yours.

hongkongshopper 6/27/05Simple style, fantastic fabric. Very nice

2BSewing 6/27/05Your dress is wonderful and I like the fabric you used. I will definitely have to try...view C, but a longer version. I think the higher neckline for this KS pattern is more comfortable. Great job and thanks for showing us another view. Can wait to see more pics!

AnneM 6/27/05This does look perfect for summer. Please do post the pic of it being worn.

penelope 6/27/05No zipper? Simple, cool, no gaping armholes? With your interesting fabric, this is an attractive pattern. Thanks for the review.

Linda L 6/27/05Lovely summer dress. Glad to read that it does not look like a sack, which sometimes mine do. May have to look further at this pattern.

Hilary 6/27/05Thanks for reviewing this! I recently added this pattern to my collection (LOL!) and I'm really glad to hear that it has nice shaping. I love that fabric, btw!

Peggy L 6/28/05Thanks everyone! I wore this to work today and will post pics (very amateur!) when I get home tonight. I stopped at CVS for batteries and got a compliment from the salesclerk and from two of my coworkers as soon as I walked in the door. That's certainly a boost to start the day!

jacqui rocks 6/28/05Very nice dress. Lovely fabric. Suits you.

Karla Kizer 6/28/05Peggy, thanks for posting more pictures. That dress looks so cool and comfortable. Chico's, only better.
* * *
Debe 6/28/05I'm glad to see a photo of you in the dress. It looks great on you, much better than the pattern drawings. That fabric is perfect for a summer dress. (A "shift" is what my mom always called a simple dress like this one.)

PegL 6/28/05Hey! Really cute dress and you look great in it! Love the print!
