I think it's because I lack the ability to visualise the final product resulting so often in a mis-match. I'm also a little paranoid of looking a bit 'homemade'. Hopefully experience will help.Bernicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594285545901719716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-48280604506763369182010-11-18T13:51:34.123-05:002010-11-18T13:51:34.123-05:00Need to try the hand picked zipper, I can't sa...Need to try the hand picked zipper, I can't say I enjoy machine zipping either.

Which doesn't, of course, guarantee that the dress will *feel* like you. (In photos, I look great in my Kasia skirt... I still don't *feel* like I look great). I'm glad you're finishing it, though. You're right, silk dupioni deserves to be finished :)<br /><br />And, yes, the grass is allways greener. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-30102526974816792202010-11-18T07:22:54.786-05:002010-11-18T07:22:54.786-05:00That silk really is a beautiful colour.

It's perhaps the most valuable part of blogging.<br /><br />Check out <a href="http://em-made.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-oh-my-what-busy-week.html" rel="nofollow"> Em-Made's Full Skirted Dress.</a> She's a student of mine, she's only been sewing a few months. The full skirt looks fantastic on her.<br /><br />Heh, I couldn't actually accept so many meters of gorgeous fabric outright. Let her hang in your closet a few seasons, if you still feel meh about her, we'll work something out. ;)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235341738044433500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-54212180267905576642010-11-17T19:04:51.055-05:002010-11-17T19:04:51.055-05:00I need to elaborate on my statement about full ski...I need to elaborate on my statement about full skirts on thin and petite frames. I take it back because I have seen fabulous full skirted dresses on all sorts of body types. I think my statement stems from my own insecurities about wanting to be a) thinner or b) a little more petite when wearing a full skirt :)<br />The grass is always greener, eh?liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-19611216356294160212010-11-17T18:38:15.937-05:002010-11-17T18:38:15.937-05:00Good!

And thanks!<br /><br />This is my public declaration: If it does become a guilt piece, I'm sending it to you, Steph.

I lo...The zipper looks fantastic!! Excellent work! <br />I love full skirts, and I have big hips and a small waist. I'm not petite (short perhaps) and not super thin either. I love this pattern and I bet it will look gorgeous on you! <br /><br />Give it a chance once it's all done... and if it still doesn't feel like your kind of dress, give it to Steph :)Tasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073834888315981225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-51952139988412544692010-11-17T18:16:53.944-05:002010-11-17T18:16:53.944-05:001- Give me your dress.

Isn't that great about the internets, style icons who have attainable body shapes.<br /><br />3- Even if it looks good on you, if you don't dig it, don't wear it. See #1. <br /><br />4- Maybe give it a few months and try another full skirt in a different fabric or style.<br /><br />5- Ooh la la, I was quoted. <br /><br />6- Your zipper is so pretty and well sewn. See #1.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235341738044433500noreply@blogger.com
