I agree with you that the front is awesome and cool, the back less so. I think I would like the back better if it had some more cross-seaming to match the front. I reckon it would look absolutelyperfect worn with a pink or yellow cardigan, :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-67838223982223425672016-09-15T12:02:52.866-07:002016-09-15T12:02:52.866-07:00Lovely dress!

I agree with the others that it looks great on you, and indeed a bit more formal, "for the office" than the versions ive seen with brighter or wider stripes. But i do hope you will wear it, since i think you look great in it. Then again, if i had your beautiful light blue eyes i would also want to wear that brighter shade of blue all the time instead of the darker shades of this dress. Anyway, I'm very glad you tried this pattern out because i have been thinking about it and with your advice i might finally take the plunge.

Hmm. I like the pattern a lot; perhaps with a bright jacket on a cool day you'd enjoy these dark stripes. The apple photo sandals with the diagonal straps are much better. With the strappy sandals, I think the combination of the high contrast with your skin tone and the horizontal strap cutting your leg off at the ankle, is not as flattering.<br />Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04174162283476551873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-63684871281120804412016-09-14T13:11:33.353-07:002016-09-14T13:11:33.353-07:00I love your version of the dress.

It's too well done not to wear b/c the silhouette looks great and so does the fabric layout.<br /><br />White? Hot Pink? It would be great to see another photo with that experiment.

But, it's my color palette, or lack of it, and I love it. The shape and fit are really wonderful on you. I love to add some bright accents with my accessories. You might like it better with red shoes(my favorite) or a scarf in a bright print would be lovely as the weather gets cooler. I am on the lookout for some great silk prints to make some scarves. I actually like to hand roll hems. Anyway, maybe it will grow on you.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-42069862134416330212016-09-12T15:57:23.080-07:002016-09-12T15:57:23.080-07:00It's a beautiful make and very complimentary. ...It's a beautiful make and very complimentary. You might try a solid pop of color, like a red or pink, which would both work with blue, such as in shoes and a cardigan or belt. The sandals are echoing the stripes, so maybe a solid pump. But really, it's a stunning dress, just more formal maybe than you're used to.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095407804481638515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-79920516306474943462016-09-12T13:02:27.039-07:002016-09-12T13:02:27.039-07:00I like the dress so much but understand about not ...I like the dress so much but understand about not liking certain colors in certain parts of the country.

I also like the shoes you're wearing in the apple shot better. We have two "cooking pear" trees - I had never heard of them before we moved here, but you have to cook the pears in order to bring out the good flavor. Neither my husband nor I are pear fans, so every morning I pick up almost 100 pears (many partially eaten by birds and squirrels) and then I give some to the chickens and some to the horse, so they don't go entirely to waste. <br /><br />I finally finished making a dress (started it 19 months ago) - only the second thing I've finished for myself - and wore it to church yesterday. I was very self-conscious (noticing things that I probably wouldn't notice in a store-bought dress), but I received tons of compliments, so hopefully I will have the confidence to move forward and make myself something else! I want to be a great seamstress like you, but I think my fear of failure has kept me from finishing anything. :-)Tampa Bay Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831348423051153075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-6946461584216043592016-09-12T04:58:32.710-07:002016-09-12T04:58:32.710-07:00I love the dress.
