Totally not mumsy to wear a cardigan with this type of dress - perhaps a cropped one that ends at the waist?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-42035544615125333372015-10-28T18:29:04.849+00:002015-10-28T18:29:04.849+00:00I love this dress, looks fab on you.

I also don't think those look like draglines, just the way you are posing.

The fabric does crease pretty badly, so maybe you are right and they are just wear lines that have creased into position!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525020848581000170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-44480149693305049112015-10-24T13:05:18.064+01:002015-10-24T13:05:18.064+01:00Thanks!

It does look interesting.

I like the look of it open at the top, the huge collar would have been a bit much though :) I have only made one shirt, for E, and it had a collar stand etc, I was surprised how easy it was.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905386742895695133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-50579628011250969162015-10-17T07:21:54.462+01:002015-10-17T07:21:54.462+01:00Your dress looks great!!

All the changes you've made sound quite involved - I still haven't done much more than change hem lengths or pocket placement! I just love those Clarks shoes too! I haven't joined the foldline for the reasons you mention but I'll see how it goes. Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183395919767332073noreply@blogger.com
