Unfortunately, my fabric betrayed me and the dress is sadly unwearable because of that. I plan on making up another version soon, though. I love how Kat listens to all of us and not only incorporates the feedback into that pattern, but also into future versions, too. It's really lovely testing for her. :)Andie W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01497388464425819791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-23971252122240688812014-12-10T19:29:17.359-05:002014-12-10T19:29:17.359-05:00Woo hoo - I am 5'10 so this may be the dress f...Woo hoo - I am 5'10 so this may be the dress for me.

Makes it sooo much easier to work out if the pattern is worth paying the $$$ asked for it.<br /><br />Anyway, a question: I absolutely LOVE this pattern! But when I looked at the sizing chart it said they're drafted for someone who is 5ft 10 inches. Yikes! I'm all of 5 foot 3 and a bit inches. Do you have any idea if this pattern would be feasible to fit on my short body?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-27934820943563877752014-12-09T20:04:08.539-05:002014-12-09T20:04:08.539-05:00Pretty dress and it looks good on pretty you.

If the v neck were too low for the office, you could always layer a cami under it, as my daughters do. That practice solves a world of woes.

Thanks for showing the dress inside-out on your dress form, and for explaining about the deeper hem. I think I have to buy this pattern -- especially since you noted that you did not need to do a FBA or raise the neckline. Hopefully that means I won't have to, either. Thanks for yet another informative post -- I learn so much from you!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-54941013376094447932014-12-09T10:05:11.801-05:002014-12-09T10:05:11.801-05:00Very pretty & flattering on you!Very pretty & flattering on you!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834328628610424153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-42863721371543136882014-12-09T09:42:12.815-05:002014-12-09T09:42:12.815-05:00You rocked fabric choice and pattern placement on ...You rocked fabric choice and pattern placement on this dress!
