Description
i finally got the cate pattern right. (ish.) i had to really go through the instructions & make some corrections (many thanks to lauren fortgang & juneann), and made changes to the length, gathering, lining & straps… not to mention my husband’s antics…

Material Notes
very thin jersey knit, i think it's cotton. at any rate, it's a material that doesn't like so much to be picked apart at the seams oh, say, around 12 separate times. is there any material that enjoys that?

Totally adorable. And thanks for the shout out (blush)! Missing you and Burda, but NYE is around the corner and I smell an emergency frock coming on!!! I’ll keep you posted!

Congratulations on your creation, the fabric makes it look like a designer dress!
As a lot of others, I’m also struggling with this pattern. Thanks to people like you, I have been able to come along pretty well, but I’m still looking for the measurements and instructions on the bow that goes on the original Burdafashion 7983 “A” dress. You don’t happen to have any ideas on it? Thanks a million, and keep making these beautiful dresses!

Funny how you just get attracted to certain fabrics… your dress reminds me of something very 1970s… standing around the swimming pool, or the BBQ with a tumbler of pretty potent punch.

I love that you stuck with this and made it work in the end. It’s giving me courage to get back to the dress I messed up before going on holidays

I have never seen such gorgeous fabric at hancock’s! It’s so great you found it, because it was made for this dress. congratulations, it’s beautiful!

I think your dress is worth all the effort you put into it. Looks fab!
Jul 24, 2008, 08.11 AMby oonaballoona
wow, i couldn’t believe i had so many comments when i woke up! thanks everybo-dah! the fabric is from my favorite store in arkansas, hancock’s. it’s a chain but this one seems to be more mom n pop. i took everything they had left on the bolt and it STILL wasn’t enough for the skirt! i had to add triangular panels at the side bottoms :)
