GREAT job! Doesn't it feel like "luxury" inside? I think it gives us an extra amount of confidence knowing that we are wearing something that is so well made! LOVE IT!!!!

Erica, the dress is lovely. The back tab adds that bit extra. I am glad to hear black and white prints will be in again for summer as I have some in my stash from last summer!!

Looks great and a perfect fit! Those shoes look great too they don't look comfortable, but look perfect with the dress.

Very nice Erica. A perfect simple dress for the summer. You could also pair it with a bright colored jacket....yellow or pink? The diva does it again.

Erica, I just love this dress on you. And I'm so glad I picked up a copy of the pattern so I can make one for myself. It's just perfect for summer and the tab detail is just great.

So fabulous! I am kicking myself for putting this pattern back last weekend when it was on sale. I'm feeling a little guilty about my stash, but all the patterns are so cute lately! I'll have to give in and get this one, too.
I have also fallen in love with linings and I appreciate hearing/seeing your techniques. Now I'm a-hankering hem tape. That looks sooo pretty ....

Love it!!!Like Toya was asking why you put lace on the hem?One thing about your sewing is the insides of your clothing looks as great as the outsides.Great JOb!!!

Like your other projects, this turned out fabulously. I'm curious about the lace on the hem. I've seen this on other garments and wonder if it's just a little fun detail or if it serves another purpose?

Ugh, I'm kicking myself, too, for putting this pattern back when it was on sale. I did not note it was suggested by Erica B in my PDA!

Wow! I wondered which version you were making! Like how you used just one wonderful piece of fabric to make this great dress! Maybe I should move my dress up to the top of my sewing list!!!!

Ditto. Here's my question: what does an A-cup girl do with a A,B,C-sized pattern like this?

You have made an incredible dress! I am not one to get jelous, but I do feel myself turning an ugly shade of green. : 0 )
Great job.

Hi MaryBeth,
The one I've used just included 3 or 4 bodice pieces and you use the one you need, the notches and everything then line up with the skirt and sleeves, but you have the right amount of ease in whichever bust size you are.
Hope this helps!

Gorgeous dress. I want to line mine too, but I am stuck on what to use. I am concerned that batiste would not slide as well on the body as bemberg. But Bemberg would not let the dress breathe like cotton does. Decisions, decisions.
I love the fabric you used. It is scrumpous. And the lace at the hem is a beautiful finishing touch that looks pretty in case it is seen. All in all it is just beautiful, beautiful work.

Thanks ladies for all of your wonderful comments!
Toya, Pamici, Gold & Stephanie,
Really and truthfully, the lace hem tape is a personal preference of mine. It's just the way I choose to finish off a hemline. Lace hem tape or bias seam tape provides a nice flat hem that won't ravel, looks neat and it's pretty! LOL

Oops, I meant to say what does an A-cup girl do with a **B,C-size pattern**? This pattern isn't cut for a small-busted gal like myself.
