Thank yo...Lauren, Your tutorial was most helpful. Thank you!<br /><br />Sarah, Golly...such flattery might very well go straight to a gals head. ha! Seriously though...thank you. It is indeed a very comfortable dress. The only opening is the one at the neck. The dress is large enough that I can just slip it on over my head. The belt helps to sinch it in just a bit. The skirt part was easy...just pleats. For the bodice and sleeves, I began with a dropped shoulder (or is it called raglan sleeve?) tunic pattern I own from the designer Wenlan Chia. But I altered it by lengthening and widening the sleeves and bodice, as well as changing the shape of the neck line and shoulders. It's pretty much just a a giant rectangle, with slight curves at the arm scythes, and a shallow v-neck. The sleeves are nearly tubes...they have a tiny hump where they attach at the shoulder.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894247974983793889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-18912615593003250582011-06-30T21:47:04.633-04:002011-06-30T21:47:04.633-04:00Oh gosh!

You look marvelous, the dress is gorgeous and altogether you and the dress are a great match. :) The fabric is great - I love the drape. It looks like a very comfortable style. How did you make the opening? Did you do a side opening, or a back one? Did you draft your own pattern or use one as a starting point?<br /><br />Again, GREAT job! This has to be one of my favorite outfits that you have made. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851840366251143291.post-40407199773043214882011-06-30T20:23:04.036-04:002011-06-30T20:23:04.036-04:00Fantastic!

I love the last picture most of all, and I think it looks great with the grey background - doesn't always need to be black :-)Lauren Rhttp://americanduchess.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
