  I do love the dress and fabric choice for it! With the right accessories it will look beautiful!

  I like the way the dress looks without a top under it. If I were using the fabric, which I like-being partial to black (or navy) on white, I’d have made a somewhat fuller skirt. A good tip from littlepig about the darts. No one needs to maim one’s neighbor, even if he is too close to “the girls.” Cordially, Nehmah

  But if you wanted you could change the skirt to a circle skirt, wear a bullet bra and become a 1950’s pin up! Then it won’t matter if you are poke-y or not!

  And it doesn’t look like a sofa, it is gorgeous.

  Great, classic dress! It doesn’t look like a sofa at all… and I’m now considering refining my dart making skills to defend my honor. ;-)

  I think the fabric is pretty. I also like the idea of adding red accessories.

    Good idea! I do love red or other bright, vivid colors with black-white combo

  I actually like your fabric; I don’t think it looks like any sofa I’ve seen. It’s very modern and would look fab with a red accessory or two. A great tip I learned from here is to sew your darts on a gentle curve so they won’t end up pointy. Great job!!

    Thanks for the tip! I’ll search for the details and hopefully my next dart won’t be poke-y. :)
