I'...This looks great with the changes you made. I've made this dress but made it out of an entirely unsuitable fabric - a very soft, heavy, clingy knit that wrinkles like mad. Of course I didn't change the sleeve bands and they look ridiculous on me with my square shoulders as they start approx. an inch down my arm and the dress is firm in the actual shoulder. Because of the fabric the pockets sag too. I need to remove the pockets and sleeve bands at least ..... I also need to reassess whether I'll bother with it at all.<br /><br />Yours however looks fab. Time well spent on making those changes.tigergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229270869667028807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-52510632132461631932012-02-27T09:54:48.929-08:002012-02-27T09:54:48.929-08:00This is such an amazing dress on you.

Every day I keep looking at it in my room because I love its color so but can't figure out what I want to make and this is so perfect. I really have to go down a size or 2 in Vogue knit patterns because the drape is always so much bigger than I think. Thanks for showing all the details of how you changed it. I'll try not to be a copycat ;)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404449004824638306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-1846568650616273032012-02-27T09:17:04.340-08:002012-02-27T09:17:04.340-08:00Love the dress, the jewelry and the cute shoes!!

The finished dress is really lovely on, perfect with that print, and so much better with the excess volume taken out and with the shoulders bands moved. The back hemline may self-correct over a few wears - hopefully? - but I don't think people will notice it. <br /><br />It's interesting how this discrepancy happens isn't it - I've just made up a very plain dress that doesn't seem to match the pattern photo... is the envelope photo supposed to be of the real thing or of the pattern version? And is the pattern made from the real thing or is it an approximation of it?Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091315686616574564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-82000798316896039182012-02-22T05:12:57.214-08:002012-02-22T05:12:57.214-08:00LOVE it and love all the changes you made!LOVE it and love all the changes you made!Amanda S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591040347020137293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-80520141741736637542012-02-21T02:31:39.405-08:002012-02-21T02:31:39.405-08:00You look gorgeous, I think the fabric is a great m...You look gorgeous, I think the fabric is a great match with the pattern.
