There is then not the same amount of fullness at the bottom of the dress which it can create an oval effect. Or have the fullness in the hips and thighs. If the fullness is either slimmed out over the hips or there is more fullness at the bottom of the skirt (50's style) you get that hour glass shape. But hey, who cares, when what you made ended up beautiful!fotohokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672190761249828917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689583641548360789.post-38134617823789518702011-05-30T20:46:16.999-04:002011-05-30T20:46:16.999-04:00Ok I just HAVE to comment.

I'm new here after seeing your blog mentioned on Sew Sweetness' blog and have been searching for something she called the "rain drop effect' quilting which I still haven't found. I think mostly why I haven't is because I've been reading your entire blog so far. UGH. I am NEVER going to get things done tonight that I was supposed to be doing now. <br /><br />Anyway ~ I HAD to comment for two reasons: One - that is an adorable shirt/tunic you made. GREAT JOB! It's awesome. Second ~ YOU are so lucky I am not next door because I would have to come smack you. YOU? Can't pull off those gorgeous dresses and heels etc.? 20 lbs more than a friend? WHAT? WHERE are you hiding that 20 lbs? I think 'someone' is being way too hard on herself and needs to get the Mommy brain set aside and the single chick mentality back and get those clothes out and take hubby out for the night. ;)<br /><br />Ok, I'll shut up now before you ban me forever. LOL Really I think you would look awesome in those outfits you claim you cannot wear...........going off to hide now.......VickiThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611232516583515409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689583641548360789.post-30607483166559729922011-05-17T08:38:55.069-04:002011-05-17T08:38:55.069-04:00Super cute!

I'm just getting started on my "cheap" version of the dress (technically I suppose it's a muslin, but with regular fabric in case it turns out alright), but I'm going to have to keep this is mind for another option.Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187644809917082275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689583641548360789.post-39143419249303059442011-04-08T21:24:58.197-04:002011-04-08T21:24:58.197-04:00This is too cute!

Haha, I was reading the first comment and your reply, that's funny. :-)<br /><br />What you did, I think that is my favorite part of sewing (clothing in particular). You can take the things you like from the pattern, change the things you don't like, and make the perfect thing for YOU.<br /><br />I'm excited to see you making the top, actually, because it opens up a lot of possibilities for this sewing pattern that I had not considered before. And I saw Jennifer Paganelli commented on your Flickr!! Awesome!<br /><br />What fabric are you going to use for your next one?!Sara @ Sew Sweetnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10912790037855020057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689583641548360789.post-73096784865012284872011-04-08T17:41:53.931-04:002011-04-08T17:41:53.931-04:00Oh that is sooo pretty - love the fabric you chose...Oh that is sooo pretty - love the fabric you chose!

I'm definitely pear shaped and the skirt is accentuating that.

I'm all excited about the sew along too and just got started on the bodice last night but I do have to wonder how often I'll actually wear the dress. I don't have a good track record with wearing any of the pretty dresses I buy and stick in my closet, hoping to one day find the right occasion to wear them. I love love love what you did with the pattern and think that I'll have to try something similar myself. And there's no way you've got 20 years or 20 pounds on Sara. Nice try. You're a skinny minnie too!Lina Thomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738524559071985395noreply@blogger.com
