Hi! I can't see this picture here or on MadisonAF23's site either. I've tried two different computers. Can someone repost it, please? Thanks -- Beth

Hey!Can't see the picture either. I remember not being able to see it when it first appeared... and it felt slightly fustrating because the dress had raving comments from Burdastyle contributors....hum...cunning.... wait a minute ... come on admit it.... you had made your choice even before launching the scouting compain for the next creation to produce.... ;) ehhhhe ehe I totally agree that it is only good and fair (praise to Burdastyle!)to support upcoming Brooklyn based designers and I will be pleased to applaud the Kangaroo dress and MadisonAF23 the way they deserve to be when I properly see the creation.... What slightly 'tickles' me is that I find the whole thing is bit too obvious or transparent....

Guys.... in the end, I am totally sure the dress looks stunning and thanks ever so much for the inspiration you give us. I might just be too critical and inquisitive. Maybe it would be good next time to present Burdastyle contributors' shortlist and we give you feed back, but please... No mock up pseudo-democracy....The Bush era is over Alleluja!!! :) :) XXX

Summer is here!

Hey CarotteSauvage, we had some really incredible entries this go around, ones that we have all admired and commented on intensely. We printed out all of the creations and had a vote on them in the office. We will definitely keep your suggestion in mind for the future, but please don't think that we had this one pre-chosen. We are very excited for this pattern and we can't wait to see what everyone does with this!

After seeing comments up here, I did a little test: I'm using Mozilla Firefox web browser, and I can see the picture. However, when I used Internet Explorer, the picture was unavailable.
In addition to this I have to add one more observation: when I use Internet Explorer, I can't see the complete list of members' comments on mine (and others') creations, when there are several pages of comments - I can see only comments from the first page. On the other hand, it all works fine when using Mozilla Firefox.

This dress is both gorgeous and original. No wonder it won the contest!
