Even after the fact, others opinions are welcomed because I was surprised with the "quality" of the form I bought. Flimsy and wobbly but the fit is good. I'm a size 0 and 5'4'' a sort of petite but not exactly so I didn't have many choices. Oh well, live and learn! I love the variation of pattern choices you post. They are so inspirational.

Can't wait for your advice on sewing velvet. I have just made (and blogged) about my xmas/new year party dress which was green velvet. No where near as fab as your dress but we all have to start somewhere! I found sewing with velvet really, really hard , so any tips will be hovered up by me.seamsoddlouisehttp://seamsoddlouise.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-1476680700370878052014-01-05T14:26:51.635-05:002014-01-05T14:26:51.635-05:00Ah!

I guess it is not stretch, this velvet? Well, its wonderful, anyways. I don't know about undergarments, but the skirt is better with the crinoline, that's for sure. It's a gorgeous dress. That being said, I would put the zipper in the back: the ondulations it gives to your side are a pity, and if it were in your back, your silouette would be wonderful. Congrats, it's gorgeous!Mertxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126670153437138246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-61490120187273672922014-01-05T08:49:21.932-05:002014-01-05T08:49:21.932-05:00You have the MOST BEAUTIFUL face, and I LOVE your ...You have the MOST BEAUTIFUL face, and I LOVE your hair pulled back. The dress is lovely and so are the shoes, but those anchors! Sorry, JMHO. To me, they just don't go together. Of course, I'm old enough to be your grandmother. I don't understand why a beautiful woman would want to wear PERMANENT "jewelry" the rest of her life. And you don't even like embroidery and applique on tee shirts! Again, JMHO.

I love that shade of blue.<br /><br />The seam on your left side does seem to be buckling though, in a way your dresses usually don't; is that perhaps a function of the side zipper?Elspethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06398421495359990810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-1727744906712710982014-01-04T17:31:23.628-05:002014-01-04T17:31:23.628-05:00sooooo beautiful!!!sooooo beautiful!!!Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114393219815264280noreply@blogger.com
