October 2, 2009 at 7:21 pmVery cute dress, it looks fantastic on you. I like the wardrobe picture, really gives an idea how to change the dress up a bit.

October 2, 2009 at 7:57 pmI love this dress….I like the middriff section. Very flattering. But what I like to hear most of all is…I'm not the only one that sews in the living room. My sewing room/ craft/ catch all room, is now my fathers room now that he is living with the hubby and I. So needless to say, my machine sits on a table behind out couch against the wall, and my dad made me a cabinet (very nice w/ scroll work) so that I can have some storage and hung it on the wall. But that's neither here nor there…at least I'm still able to create…

October 2, 2009 at 8:42 pmI love your dress. The cardigan looks great with it and I love your wardrobe picture. You look like a model!!! Could you give more information about the cardigan pattern?

October 2, 2009 at 9:19 pmThis may be the favorite version of the dress yet that I've seen – too many of the others did things with contrasting fabrics that actually took away from the design of the dress.

October 2, 2009 at 10:45 pmWow, what a great fabric and pattern pairing. So far, this is the best version I've seen in the blog sphere. Maybe it's because I'm in the smaller cup side. Really, I can't imagine that the dress has so many pattern pieces. The design looks pretty simple. Now I'm curious…

October 2, 2009 at 10:56 pmIt looks impeccable! I have stayed away from these patterns b/c I am the anti-Colette customer (not shapely, two sizes from C-cup in the less shapely direction!) but it's heartening to see how nice it looks on a shape more like mine.

October 3, 2009 at 12:43 pmLove this! I have two Colette patterns in my queue to sew up, and looks like I may have to add this one to my collection. 🙂

October 3, 2009 at 12:44 pmLove it! I've only seen this on larger busted girls so I'm glad to see it's also flattering on smaller girls too. And with the cardi you can wear it as the weather cools 🙂

October 4, 2009 at 9:49 amWow, so many comments! Thank you all for taking the time. I feel incredibly flattered.
>>Carrie: Yes, you are not alone in the living room! I too am thrilled to hear that not all have a whole sewing room to work from. I feel the same way about the situation, at least I have table from where I can create. I am just grateful that I don't have to work from the kitchen table.
>>Antoinette and Christina: Yes it can work! It needs alteration of course, but the great thing is that the gathers gives an illusion of fuller bust too, so the proportions still look right, even with a smaller bust.

August 17, 2010 at 2:38 pmThis is gorgeous. I wasn't sure from other versions of the dress that I've seen if this would be for me, but yours is so pretty I'm really tempted to give it a go now. I love the fabric choice and it fits you so well!
