I love the houndstooth look. I am a little dubious of my own ability to get the pattern matching as perfectly as you have done but I would definitely like to make something like this.

I still sew SWAP stuff since I stopped buying ready to wear and I find I don't have enough basics, but one-offs are my favorite thing to make.<br /><br />I got into some of the shows for SS2012 at Fashion Week here and it was really inspiring.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604732687253434380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-4621304871540685592011-09-28T11:21:45.836-04:002011-09-28T11:21:45.836-04:00Love this dress.

Dries van Noten has inspired me to make jackets using several different fabrics much like your DvN dress and LindseyT's top. Thanks for sharing your inspirations and creative thoughts as they really help me expand my sewing thoughts.sewingkmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851667892251390951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-22144309622462587922011-09-28T09:04:28.689-04:002011-09-28T09:04:28.689-04:00I love the fabric on this dress.

While I do look forward to what you come up with for 6-packs/SWAPs etc, I really enjoy reading about what you do with your TNT dress to take designer's ideas and make them your own. Often you pick up a detail that I missed seeing in the photos and then I need to go back and look again.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-5895595555629255772011-09-28T07:47:39.592-04:002011-09-28T07:47:39.592-04:00I'm echoing Shams-do what makes your heart sin...I'm echoing Shams-do what makes your heart sing.

It's exciting and inpiring. Your pattern match down the back of this dress is impressive. I like the piping too.

But in your case you have abundance so you can make one offs. Especially when it is a dress as it doesn't have to match anything else to be worn. This latest dress is just perfect!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529416439720810403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-51312320222574966532011-09-27T23:23:17.909-04:002011-09-27T23:23:17.909-04:00I love how you switch gears to suit your desires a...I love how you switch gears to suit your desires and your nature.
