This was only the third or fourth dress I had sewn. I would still recommend the pattern, though.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10659088364165367101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283432893182314840.post-10897506623759379752013-05-15T13:05:36.988-07:002013-05-15T13:05:36.988-07:00this is soo pretty...

It is important to make snips in your fabric at the point of the 'V' and around the shape, this prevents the fabric looking wrinkled and messy. Hope that this helps.PetiteBluebirdgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098672731638455835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283432893182314840.post-64040346130409223652013-04-17T04:25:09.260-07:002013-04-17T04:25:09.260-07:00Thanks for sharing.

I found the front neck band is too short for the neck edge? Maybe it's designed to be like that.cozy cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10575160997141915269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283432893182314840.post-87681088284754833342012-06-11T21:36:07.529-07:002012-06-11T21:36:07.529-07:00another pattern I've had my eye on!
