I was surprised when you posted it the other day and said "hey, that's my dress". You have clearly beat me to the punch because I just finished alternating the pattern last night and am about to stitch up a muslin tonight. Love that fit on you. I know you are going to line it, right? I'm thinking about lining the bodice only - can you give me your opinion on that since you are so far into construction???Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-57370298282563114002011-10-12T18:03:32.345-04:002011-10-12T18:03:32.345-04:00That's a really nice combination, and the ribb...That's a really nice combination, and the ribbon trim adds a great finishing touch.Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-26140774351334419872011-10-12T17:31:08.846-04:002011-10-12T17:31:08.846-04:00Sew far, sew good!Sew far, sew good!knitmachinequeen (KMQ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06905640436931172793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-24451080881466938902011-10-12T14:44:05.911-04:002011-10-12T14:44:05.911-04:00Great dress!!
