ReplyDeleteI like it! Good fabric combo too.
ReplyDeleteI have this pattern and need to get it on the "list" to sew. Your version is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! !! I love love love that dress and your style.
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria. I was really surprised to see this dress because it is almost identical to what the weather person on my local news channel was wearing on last night's news, just different in the colors. On hers, the sleeves and curving side panels were black while the center panel was bright red. It was lovely and festive. Yours is truly wonderful and I cannot believe it took only 2 hours. Great dress and it fits beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very on trend at the moment, and such a flattering trend at that! :-)
DeleteWhat a dynamite dress and figure! And to say it was an easy sewing one too...OMG...girl, you hit the jackpot! Just stand back and wait for the compliments to fly in your direction, Victoria!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have the body for this dress! It's really great on you and makes a good figure look even better. In such subdued colors it's the kind of dress that can be dressed up or down.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I love the fabric and the curvy seams look fabulous on you!
ReplyDeleteDress is really nice and it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteSmokin dress! I adore your addition of the Vogue sleeves.

ReplyDeleteI've been reading and enjoying your blog for a couple of months now, so I'm a relatively new reader. Since I have started sewing again after a couple of years hiatus, it's exciting to read your entries. Also inspiring for me to continue sewing regularly. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love it! So flattering on you. I too have had this pattern sitting in my stash for some time but was going to wait for the weather to warm up again - hadn't thought of adding sleeves :-)
