I made mine for a challenge with orange polyester.

I had to smile because I have some of the same floral print that I bought from Vogue Fabrics. The fabric content of mine, based on web site description, is 100% wool. I was going to pair it with a dark green colored fabric or a turquoise blue fabric in my stash. It looks great with the cobalt blue too.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-76177030477345636002012-02-26T20:44:46.811-05:002012-02-26T20:44:46.811-05:00Sometimes we just don't like a pattern no matt...Sometimes we just don't like a pattern no matter what we do, but I have to say this is a very, very nice dress!!

I am now attempting to add a gusset under the sleeves - very fiddly. Next time I will use a knit as you did, a brilliant idea!<br />Thank you for sharing; I love your blog.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-78828854028708942992012-02-25T20:17:37.607-05:002012-02-25T20:17:37.607-05:00beautiful!beautiful!DawnSSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08884913538397952251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-39931260269482486732012-02-25T13:34:49.577-05:002012-02-25T13:34:49.577-05:00I really like that dress on you!

But I had a look at the pattern and I think I understand what you mean about not liking your dress. I like it on you but I can look at a pattern and the line drawings and see "something" in it, and then make it and the "something" doesn't show up. I don't know what it is for me, to be honest, but I bet something like that is going on for you.Claire R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09937988030390654215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-86371913677610781482012-02-23T14:24:19.860-05:002012-02-23T14:24:19.860-05:00Great dress Carolyn!
