Seems like most are also using knit for this dress and leaving out the zipper. I watched a youtube review that mentioned the length being short for wearing to work as well as the arm holes being a bit tight. Thanks for the info. I always appreciate learning about issues from others before starting.Anna Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12378022187583861355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-72789719982729217842013-07-07T12:14:41.238-04:002013-07-07T12:14:41.238-04:00This has been in my sewing queue for a while now -...This has been in my sewing queue for a while now - I'll definitely be having a good read of the instructions before I start, and then probably just ignore them, based on the information here.

In one case, when I was suing polka dots, it lined up the dots and looked really weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-86727705536677655202013-07-07T07:00:55.222-04:002013-07-07T07:00:55.222-04:00Looks pretty darn cute!
