Now I'm a little nervous about starting the bodice - mine will hopefully look as nice as yours when it's done. I'm using the same view too - I wasn't sure how a longer dress would look on me. But, again, I think your dress is lovely! <br /><br />I'm also using a bright print for this - if you'd like to see it's over at http://jennysews2.blogspot.com - I'll post the full dress when it's done.

But those colors are stellar! I think the bodice is quite flattering on you, actually. Wear it!

Actually magic closets really do work - I once put a coat and a top away for a while, both with flaws I couldn't stand. When I pulled out the top I realized that I actually rather liked it, and that the flaws were minor. The coat was another story - I realized it was even worse than I had thought when I put it away. The top gets worn regularly now, and the coat is history.<br /><br />Anyway, I think the dress is very pretty, and I hope that eventually you will grow to like it and it will see more use next summer.T.

And I...The colors in this dress are lovely on you! And I think the overall shape suits you just fine - you're probably being too hard on yourself as everyone has said. I can see why you'd be annoyed about the waist - you'd really want that style to fit snug around the waist area - but your belt fixes that. Could you sew the belt to the side of the waist so that you can tighten it in back and keep the midriff curves more visible? I think you'll be happy for this come summer!PoldaPophttp://poldapop.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-64666364333050364372012-09-03T13:42:39.583-04:002012-09-03T13:42:39.583-04:00I think it is flattering on you.
