She buys (and sells!) beautiful fabric. She designs beautiful bags. I love her silkscreen designs. I love the way she combines fabric colors and textures for very interesting garments. A pattern-maker she is not. If you are a "technical" sewist (I am), her patterns are not for you. If you are happy "winging it", then maybe you will enjoy working with her patterns. Me? Not so much!<br /><br />Sew Marishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06584756961515849576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-72630833749557300122013-03-26T08:01:08.385-04:002013-03-26T08:01:08.385-04:00I missed this one.

I feel the same as you do about the winter, although, I can't complain because we have not had it as hard as you have i.e. we don't have any snow on the ground. We went for a walk after dinner and I did not wear a hat. My ears were so cold that we had to go in a store to warm up!! I'm looking forward to you being able to wear that pretty dress without a turtleneck:)RhondaBusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555069797738423675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-50058372483706323952013-03-26T02:54:13.001-04:002013-03-26T02:54:13.001-04:00I had my issues with this dress as well - in fact,...I had my issues with this dress as well - in fact, I'm kind of on the same plane with you regarding Marcy patterns - I love the designs, but there's always SOMEthing about the fit or construction!<br /><br />That said, I think your version of this dress is my favorite that I've seen!

I have much the same problem with v-necks, always thinking I'm making a slight change, but it ends up too high. <br /><br />I can't wait to see what you think about the other MT dress. If I can figure out how to put sleeves in it to cover the tops of my arms, I'd like to try it. It looks so cute on the model.

You don't need to do that, however, you tiny thang, you! <br />I appreciate hearing how you modified it to work for your body.

It looks cute on you, your modifications worked tremendously. Thanks for the rundown on the necessary alterations. I tackle tough jobs and stick with it to the end, too, but right now I wouldn't take this one on.

The double faced fabric is perfect for a project like this.<br />I had noticed this pattern when it first came out, but haven't bought it yet. I am pretty backed up on things I would like to sew anyway. Hearing that it was tricky to sew, doesn't spur me on, lol!<br />Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551387452771116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-60776642698438452902013-03-25T08:00:37.992-04:002013-03-25T08:00:37.992-04:00Oh Bunny, If you type Vogue 8813 into Google image...Oh Bunny, If you type Vogue 8813 into Google images you can see some of the nastiest dresses from this pattern. As it was designed to be a house dress it surely cannot be considered flattering or worthy of a trip out of the house. That being said, your version is quite nice and it is so great to read about you conquering all the weird directions and components to get the correct result for your body...what a trooper you are!mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-81647886622863773092013-03-25T03:25:17.970-04:002013-03-25T03:25:17.970-04:00you are clearly born with so much patience, I thin...you are clearly born with so much patience, I think it would still be in a pile on the floor if it was me .... great looking dress.<br /><br />Our winter continues too lol hope it gets warmer soon.pdiddlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231666147175522583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-36889591206045335812013-03-25T02:00:55.729-04:002013-03-25T02:00:55.729-04:00Great dress - but absolutely love the dear.
