I think this looks very cool on you and easy to wear - I don't think the stripes are an issue (in any case everyone knows that light colours make you look wider, so everyone will mentally subtract 20% to compensate), but that is a bugger about the lining. Thanks for all these useful tips on the pattern - this one is also in my (long) queue but I left it because I suspected there were some traps in there.Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091315686616574564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-37637503302747878722011-11-21T21:00:57.287-08:002011-11-21T21:00:57.287-08:00I love the casual boho feel to this dress.

I've had similar problems with nylon slips climbing up & nylon undies crawling down (& they've been plenty big enough) I've often wondered if there isn't an "incompatibility" between nylon & other synthetics, but I haven't found any info on it. And your textiles might not contain any nylon. Please do keep us posted; it's an interesting problem, and most importantly, a lovely dress. ---bethS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-4574091624500248832011-11-20T12:10:36.015-08:002011-11-20T12:10:36.015-08:00The dress has turned out really well.

I think you've paired it perfectly with your necklace and sandals for a casually chic look.Bernicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594285545901719716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-72941864901429596682011-11-20T12:03:59.448-08:002011-11-20T12:03:59.448-08:00I love this pattern which, by the way, I also own....I love this pattern which, by the way, I also own. I have also bought the fabric to make up. I think your fabric is interesting and shows the design off well.

Maybe power mesh has too little stretch? I'd add to the lining so it's comfortable to wear.Utahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011335110798185030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-13943906136106256912011-11-19T22:35:31.049-08:002011-11-19T22:35:31.049-08:00A too tight garment will pull up "looking for...A too tight garment will pull up "looking for room" so to speak. The lining is probably too tight. I am not familiar with the mesh lining but Carolyn uses a tricot lining for her dresses to great effect.patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.com
