I've wanted for quite some time to try my hand at garment making. I admire all the ladies that sew beautiful clothing with what seems like very little effort. This dress came together fairly easily so it was a good confidence builder for me to continue on with garments. It's funny but I think out of all the quilts I've made over the last couple of years, I'm more proud of this dress than any of the quilts. :P

Very nice!! Looks great on you!!

Very cute dress! Good job.

Pretty dress for a pretty lady. Great job!

Very nice! I have not made any clothing for awhile, but it is just as amazing to have it come out right as it is to see a quilt block come together. Looks great -- I wish it were warm enough here for no sleeves and bare feet!

Cute! Did you use a pattern?

very pretty !!!

It's really cute. Looks comfy too!

The pretty dress matches your pretty smile! Great job! :)

Very nice.

You made a beautiful dress. My DD has wanted me to make her some dress'. I might try it.

Beautiful work!

That's great that you enjoy sewing and quilting. Once I learned to quilt, I gave up the sewing..it no longer held my interest.

beautiful... you look gorgeous!
Great Job!

Love the colors - when my kids were small I made their clothes and mine. Need to start sewing for me again.

Great looking dress.

That's great and you look beautiful.

cute model and cute dress...

Love it....very nice. I have been thinking of also sewing a few dresses. I hate the styles in the stores and the quality is so cheap. I really would love to take sewing lessons. Its really sad that there are not many places that offer lessons.

beautiful dress, you did awesome!

You did a very good job, you should be proud!

It looks very pretty on you. The colors, prints, and pattern are young and modern. Sometimes it's just good to switch up your projects. I always made garmets when I was younger, but now I have more fit problems, so I do quilts. Maybe when I have a grandaughter I will go back to making her some cute outfits.

cute

its absolutely charming!!

Beautiful dress, and model!!!

Lovely dress and model. Love the colors.

Job well done and not as easy as one might think !!! Really pretty. Been trying to sew garments off and on for some time and have yet to come across one I will wear out of the house or many times in the house !!! LOL Won't give up though, now I've got a bood and cd on alterations , we'll see !!!

What a pretty dress!!!!

I took measurements today of my 7YO GD. She was visiting and after seeing my stash, she chose the fabric pieces she wanted me to make a "top with spaghetti straps." Haven't sewed up 100% cotton clothes in many years - not since they had to be starched and ironed! Anybody know if that is still the case with cotton?

How nice! You did a great job on it. I sew some garments for myself and some for others. It is something I have done since high school. I won't say how long ago that was but, I am a grandmother.

There is an interesting site that is very good to read up on sewing like this site. It is called patternrevew.com like here it is free to join and there is tons of information to help you along with projects. There is even sewing classes that you can take on line there.

I hope you continue on since you enjoy it so much. You do such a good job.

I love it! I think that style would even look decent on me. What pattern did you use?

Excellent work! Good for you to branch out! Yes indeed, it does look pretty on you!

Wonderful work!! I think it's adorable and fits well. I'm also trying to expand my sewing skills, but I'm starting with baby clothes. It would be awesome to be able to sew for myself, though.

Oh beautiful!!!

very nice job. You look great. I used to sew dresses for my daughter when she was small, but not any more. Keep up the good work.

How cute is that dress! Love it!!!!

cute! You have what it takes, keep it up.

That's really cute and you did a great job!

You should be proud. That is a great dress!
