Karla Kizer said... I 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. 6/26/05 9:01 PM

JDpenelope said... No zipper? Simple, cool, no gaping armholes? With your interesting fabric, this is an attractive pattern. Thanks for the review. 6/27/05 7:59 AM
Danvillegirl said... Lovely 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. 6/27/05 8:03 AM
Hilary said... Thanks 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! 6/27/05 3:32 PM
Peggy L said... Thanks 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! 6/28/05 8:32 AM
Karla Kizer said... Peggy, thanks for posting more pictures. That dress looks so cool and comfortable. Chico's, only better. 6/28/05 8:31 PM
Sew it seams said... I'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.) 6/28/05 8:36 PM
