what a lovely dress!

you have convinced me to finally jump on that coffee date bandwagon as well ! Must try this in a stretchy material ! I won’t be able to use stripes like you do, so I’ll probably stick to something safe for the first attempt! Thanks for the inspiration !

i hope you’re sewing yours right now!
and funny thing— when i picked this material, i thought i WAS going safe. now i see it’s one of the loudest things in my closet!

I think I might love you! Love your version of the dress, I’m totally putting a knit version on my to-do list. Your belt collection is completely enviable, AND you have the nightstand I have been drooling over for months. Have a great birthday!

i loves to be loved! yeah, i got that nightstand from urban outfitters, in a fit of WE HAVE TO GET FURNITURE. i love it, but the price tag haunts me daily. belts, however, are all 5 and under from discount stores, so i guess it all evens out…
thanks for the bday wishes!!

Lovely! Great job matching pattern, too. I am inspired to make this dress without the ruffle too, now. Thanks for your photos. Happy Birthday, you look great!

it’s a great pattern, you should try it!

great use of fabric!!

teehee, would that you could feel this fabric. you know that sort of poly blend that snags on any little thing, say, an index finger that’s a bit rough from sewing? this is that stuff.
Aug 4, 2011, 08.54 AMby ichigogirl
I LOVE your version, clever girl. The stripes on the bias are STYLISH and I feel an instant urge to copy you but I have to refurbish my kitchen, fiddle with the computer (install photoshop) finish a few projects and photograph even more first. Happy birthday, have a great, festive week!

Lurve it! Making it in knit was a great idea. Happy birthday weeeeeeek. So I know everyone says it but I really do love the fabric/scarf hanging on the wall behind you. So cool.

yay knits! i sliced a bit off the waistline of the bodice to make it straighter. i don’t know why i did that…. but it worked. i think elaniemay’s pattern might be indestructible.
