Beautiful fabric! I'm working on this same pattern too, at the moment. Mind if I pick your brain? According to my measurements, I ought to be a size 16. Instead I went for a size 14 for the skirt graded into a 12 for the top. It's still so baggy! The neckline gapes and in general it just feels like there's too much fabric still, as if I should have gone down another size. Did you pick your size based on your measurements, or go down a size or two? Your dress looks so fitted compared to mine. And do you flash your bra when you bend over like I do?Kate Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759073632384667608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-86820491812012138942011-06-01T09:32:32.797+08:002011-06-01T09:32:32.797+08:00I love this dress.

I almost passed up the pattern but gave the subtle drafting a second look and figured this would be a winner.<br /><br />One thing I did omit was the pockets. After spending time matching the print at the pocket openings, I decided my fabric was too delicate - rats :(lorenakittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09560547401772928574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-47136059645864597572011-05-07T21:27:28.944+08:002011-05-07T21:27:28.944+08:00I din't think very much to this pattern when i...I din't think very much to this pattern when it first came out, because I thougt it too simple for my taste - then I saw what you've done to it.
