    I love it! I have a suit that I'm making a motor jacket out of and if I'm able to make it without needing the pants then I'm so going to make a dress! Thanks for the tut!

    I love your slack dress and thanks for the tips this is a great way for a newbie like me to practice not only on measurements but trying to see if I can actually get something to fit very well. You are so talented and thanks for sharing.

    this was so impressive, it's the first dress i've made from the net, my slacks cost me $2, a nice dark grey wool pair, all i need now is for it to warm up a little so i can wear it, thanks
