This dress is gorgeous! Love the fabric and the chestnut detail! Lovely! Knipmode is a really nice magazine, is just a pity to be so difficult to find, I have two or tree numbers that I buy in ebay, and I love almost the models!

can't wait to make her skirt

I completely love this dress! It's so flattering and the detail is just enough! Well done!

Wow, this looks absolutely cool! The tights match the dress perfectly! The fabric is nice as well!

stoked about flickr up for swap!

Yeah, redheads in green, gorgeous! It's lovely. I've seen the top you made from this pattern, and I WISH I would have known about Knipmode then and bought it too...

feisty

thanks everybody!! And EmilyKate and dianacirne, you can still buy this issue from Naaipatronen, which is where I buy all of my issues! Select KnipMode from the right dropdown box on that page and it'll show you all the back issues (I highly recommend January 08 for lingerie and June 08 for swimsuits, too if you're bulk-buying!). The site's in Dutch, but Google Translate really helps and the owner speaks English if you get stuck at all and have to email!

great pattern for the fabric. it's quite hard to find really good prints in london fabric shops, but really you shouldn't have given that link to crybaby's boutique - i feel i must buy something now...
