I like the pleated fabric a lot! Simple dress, yet looks soo elegant!

Thanks, I'm having trouble with my uploaded pics. The vertical pictures I took are being cropped and so instead of a full length photo, only the bottom half is showing. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I'll try to fix later and post some better pics.

I love the collar, it really makes the dress! and great color fabric...good job!

It is very beautiful. I like the colour, the choice of fabric and especially the ruffle collar. Would you be able to share your technique of making the collar?

I love the ruffled color. The Anda looks great in such a flowing fabric.

i love this dress, but you should include a picture to see the whole dress. the fabric is pretty cool too.

I love your version. It looks uber classy. The great thing about these free patterns is that they're so adaptable!

I wasn't a friend of the Anda patterns, but your Anda looks so great! Nice alterations!

This looks like something my grandma would have worn when she was young--which is a compliment--timeless, elegant! I'm pretty new to sewing and also want to make an Anda with a lowered waistline...was it tricky to lower it?

ReneeBeth, Thanks, i'll take it as a compliment, cause i'm a bit of an old lady and i love vintage! lowering the waistline was easy. I cut the pattern pieces and then cut at the natural waistline, where i created an elasting casing, which is easier than it sounds. Once you have created the seam at the waistline, press the seam down and stitch the seam to the skirt leaving an opening at one side. This creates a tunnel where you then run the elastic through. Stitch elastic together at side opening and close opening and Voila!

Wonderful! When I get back in the vicinity of a sewing machine, I'm going to make something with an elastic casing.

I LOVE what you've done with the pattern. Very Audrey Hepburn, bless her heart. How did you do the collar?

Great colour and i love the collar too - so cute. How did you do that?

I really interested in how you adapted the pattern - its very beautiful! I have just downloaded the Anda pattern and you have really inspired me to try & make it different for me! thanks.
