I have mixed feelings about the gathers too, some people say gathers hide stuff, but I always get the feeling they make me look bigger. Pleats would probably work really nicely, or maybe a size smaller skirt with less gathers?Heatherhttp://whereheathergrows.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-69159685583628182382014-07-29T22:49:52.399-04:002014-07-29T22:49:52.399-04:00I love that you used a different fabric for the bo...I love that you used a different fabric for the bodice. I have a really cool ity print that I want to make a dress from, but it just feels so thin. I could take a page from your book and just use it for the skirt portion. That purple-pink is very pretty! Love the scoop of the back neckline.liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-47963599849571615102014-07-26T12:33:28.459-04:002014-07-26T12:33:28.459-04:00I love border prints and in my favorite color too...I love border prints and in my favorite color too.

I don't like gathered skirts because they make me feel lumpy; I'll always use a flared skirt like on the Lady Skater, but pleats would probably work well, too. The belt creates a nice definition between the skirt and bodice, and the pink is great on you.Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-78498861736229164632014-07-17T07:35:53.040-04:002014-07-17T07:35:53.040-04:00That fabric combo is delish!

By the looks of it your skirt might be bigger than it needs to be, too (that is, you don't look like you'd need the 3XL if you didn't want as much fabric gathering around your waist).<br /><br />It looks really cool in two different fabrics though - and what a good way to get around the white fabric. I cannot wear white because I will spill something, every time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-68027639892375757182014-07-16T01:15:00.925-04:002014-07-16T01:15:00.925-04:00Beautiful..

I love that the gathers hide my cake bumps!<br />I made mine with the 3XL skirt and a 2XL bodice and even though I changed the skirt notches to match the bodice, it still does have more gathering at the sides. For my next one I am just going to match the sides and the centres and ignore the notches.Nessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029381870073249449noreply@blogger.com
