I'm just catching up. I'm so happy that you (hopefully) bought up all of that knit fabric from FM, because I love it! and I love what you chose to do with it, too. It's a very flattering style on you. <BR/><BR/>You're so great at documenting your sewing process--I always enjoy getting inside of your sewing brain as I read it.<BR/><BR/>KathrynKathryn, aka fzxdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765109817196426864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-14764482056993758082009-03-14T11:17:00.000-04:002009-03-14T11:17:00.000-04:00Carolyn,I'm a little late in commenting about your...Carolyn,<BR/>I'm a little late in commenting about your fantastic dress, but I've been without a computer. I really like the style, fabric, and details, and as always the dress looks perfect on you. I hadn't really thought of a lining for this knit. Will it be too hot to wear in the warm weather? I am in TN where it is much a much hotter climate than NY/NJ. Anyway, beautiful job.<BR/><BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-61844405288594345042009-03-13T22:15:00.000-04:002009-03-13T22:15:00.000-04:00That's a really great dress, what a fantastic prin...That's a really great dress, what a fantastic print!<BR/><BR/>And may I add - what an incredibly fantastic smile!

Looking at the dress I was imagining what it would look like worn over tops of other colors. I think it would look fantastic worn over a red/rust top.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-69356345605978306432009-03-10T12:08:00.000-04:002009-03-10T12:08:00.000-04:00Just wanted to tell you not to let anybody bum you...Just wanted to tell you not to let anybody bum you out (Dead Tired blog).
