Pattern Description: Cynthia Rowley - sewing patterns dresses. Misses' dress in three lengths with neckline variations.
Pattern Sizing: 12-20
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love everything about this pattern!
Fabric Used: Silk Dupoini
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I don't think I will sew this one again. I do recommend it.
Conclusion: This was such a great pattern. It is very well drafted and went together very well. Because I used silk dupoini, I knew it would ravel so I did a hong kong finish on all the seams. I simply LOVE this dress!
I love your dress. The fit and style are so pretty! And, such a lovely color of dupioni. You look quite glamorous, I must say. This is the first time I have been to your blog. Glad I found it!

Okay, now you have to go on another cruise to show up the fab dress. Better yet, just have a dinner party and tell your guest that we are dressing for dinner.

A co-worker of mine made this pattern as a formal for the annual fireman's ball here. She is thinking of making it again in a lightweight denim, minus the ruffle as a summer dress.
Your dress looks great!

On the other side was Viktor Orbán in a soccer uniform with socks in the national colors kicking a soccer ball over the net for Martonyi to catch with his racket. Well, this was a very apt depiction of the situation. Unfortunately, Orbán has no talent for diplomacy. As a result Hungary's relations with her neighbors as well as with the United States, Europe, and Russia hit rock bottom between 1998 and 2002.
