I really thinks it flattering. I'm sold, I want to buy the pattern and make it too. Would you be upset if I used the same color fabric....I love it.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606369052156751750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093292106604425520.post-54269844739291763892011-06-03T13:30:46.805-04:002011-06-03T13:30:46.805-04:00Kim: I'm making this dress right now and I'...Kim: I'm making this dress right now and I'm finding the shoulder seam alignment kind of difficult. Can you tell me a bit more about how you did that? Because I clipped to the reinforced triangle, I'm finding it difficult to hide that raw bit and I'm not exactly sure where the back neck facing is supposed to be caught.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093292106604425520.post-87843614196765862112011-04-22T19:12:16.627-04:002011-04-22T19:12:16.627-04:00I've sewn myself one already and have another ...I've sewn myself one already and have another cut out just waiting for a spare hour. I wasn't sure about the FBA either so didn't do it on my first version, but needed it. <br /><br />I think yours looks good - I can see that this dress pattern will fly through the sewing internet world as everyone discover the ease of sewing combined with the fabulous results.Sharon Sewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987831277077411438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093292106604425520.post-1785841079457550132011-04-20T20:27:36.314-04:002011-04-20T20:27:36.314-04:00@Darby...Sure I don't mind.

I don't know why I just did a 16 honestly. I blame my broken toe and the drugs ;-) I should have cut a 14 in the shoulders, a 16 in the waist and hips and probably tapering up to an 18 in the bust. If I could do an FBA I probably would but I'm kind of stumped on how to do it here. I don't want darts. I'm VERY short waisted though, even for my height. I only measure about 13.5" neck to waist.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669069576502953258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093292106604425520.post-16125428316024139152011-04-20T20:09:22.315-04:002011-04-20T20:09:22.315-04:00Your dress looks great and if it is as easy to mak...Your dress looks great and if it is as easy to make as you say, I definitely need to get it.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093292106604425520.post-55058751031349367322011-04-20T19:37:32.392-04:002011-04-20T19:37:32.392-04:00I just made this dress too.

Do you mind sharing what size you cut out?? I am about your size, maybe a bit smaller in the bust :-). I think I could go down to a 14 in the shoulders/upper body. Would love your thoughts.Deb Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617872613774631438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093292106604425520.post-5663162851543436582011-04-20T09:32:37.734-04:002011-04-20T09:32:37.734-04:00Thank Heather!
