Is it pretty true to your size? Is it sturdy and stable? Very cute dress - and great idea on the fabric! How are you liking your dress form? Is it pretty true to your size? Is it sturdy and stable?

I really cannot wait to read through it. Your creations have all turned out so well. This dress is cute (I especially love the addition of pockets), and I think a strapless version would be really fun. (And, like Florence, I am totally coveting your dress form. I don't have one at all yet, so coveting dress forms is a major pastime of mine.) That book is on its way to me from amazon right now, and I am so excited! I really cannot wait to read through it.

Now I need a day off (or a night off) to start drafting a pattern! Your dress turned out great and it is exciting to see that making your own patterns really does work!!!

I love the colour of the denim - it's that lovely shade that's perfect for the summer. It's such a great shape - simple and easy to wear but it has a lovely outline. If I ever get a sewing machine (I've been wanting one for aaages but there's always something more important to spend money on!) then I'll check out that book. It sounds fab! This is wonderful!

I haven't ever commented on your blog before, so I hope this is okay! I "favorited" one of your photos on Flickr and somehow found my way to your blog a week or so later and have flipped through the last few months, and I'm in love! You've got great style, very inspiring. The funny thing is, I live in Tulsa, too, and now I know where all the Orla Kiely from Target went! :) Just kidding. Anyway, again thank you for the inspiration, I'm a crafter too, so I love all your fun sewing ideas. Have a lovely rest of your week... Heidi (totally normal non-stalking lady.)
