What a sweet and feminine dress Lisa - it looks lovely on you! I really love the daisy fabric you chose.

You've got me thinking, maybe I will make another. With all the kind words of encouragement from everyone today, including you, maybe it doesn't look too 'young' for me..... or too 'big' on me after all. More colorful is a good idea too! Thank you Mama Pea! And yes..... I think this would be a hard dress to wear if one was not so tall, unless there was a lot of pattern modification. :)

Thank you so much Kathrin! :)

With all the lovely dresses you make, I really appreciate what you think. Thank you ever so much SaSa! Glad you've had some relief from the hot weather too. :)

That is a lovely dress. Just lovely. And it looks so good on you! Could hardly be a better style for the hot, hot weather. I think you should make another one (in perhaps a colorful, lively print?) so you'll have two of such a comfortable style . . . and no one will think you're wearing the same dress twice!

How I envy you gals that are tall. If I tried to wear that style, I'd look like a pup tent with feet.

Hi Lisa,
this dress is just so pretty! And the fabric (I remember it from one of your other posts) is really beautiful for a summer dress. I think you've adapted the pattern very well - you'd always have to wear something beneath the deep V-neck otherwise, not quite the purpose of a light summer dress!
I hope you'll have some opportunity to wear it this year.

I love this silhouette for you, Lisa! It looks like an amazingly breezy and lovely dress for this hot weather! You have saved the silhouette with the little belt and I think you were right not to put the tatting. This will be nice for another project! Lovely work at the neckline!
We, too, have had very hot days but now it has cooled down. :)

You are oh-so-right in that it is the most comfy dress I think I've ever owned! It feels great on. You are so sweet Felecia! Thank you so much and blessings back to you!! :)

Thank you so much for your input Katharina! You make such cute dresses, I value your opinion. And Aha! You've made a great point..... for if my dress changed the weather... that is great!!!! At least it feels like you can breathe when you go outside now. :)

One of the reasons I wrote this post and took the photos about the back neckline.... is so I'd remember it better! :) This is now the fourth time I've used that technique, and every.single.time I've had to read and re-read the instructions and re-learn it all over again. It is a little hard to wrap one's brain around.... but once it's done, it seems oh-so-simple. Time does fly and it really seems to zoom now! Thank you so much Erin!

Hello, Lovely Lisa! The dress looks so comfy on you! I love it! We have experienced the very same temps this summer, and now rain! But we'll probably have more hot days through September that you can wear the dress. I love the fabric you chose! And the shoes make it pop! Great job! Have a great week! Blessings from Bama!

I was thinking how much this style suits you, and how well you have modified it from the probably looser version in the Stylish Dress book. I think it probably helps that you are tall and the proportions are good on you. The shoes are terrific too. But really, don't worry about this being a little over full, it looks really nice and in 90+ deg weather it must be really comfortable to wear too. Not Average, but Awesome! TS

I like this silhouette on you! Really looks a little strange und wide without the belt, but with the belt I think it is very flattering! Thanks for giving such an informative report on the construction process, I really enjoyed reading it! I also like the fabric and I don't think the dress looks nightgownish at all! Great job. And if making the dress helped the weather to become cooler, that's great too ;-)

Your explanation of the bias binding sewing for the back neckline is most intriguing! I can't quite visualise it, but I think it's one of those where you follow the steps and voila!
It's an airy summer dress and your fabric is just perfect for it. The daisy and gingham has such a pretty vintage look to it. I hope there's still a bit of summer left for you to wear this dress.
Ah your daughter is a lovely girl to spend a few treasured days with you before the start of school. Time flies doesn't it?
