This pattern was a joy to make. I used emroidered cotton, and covered buttons to go with the bound buttonholes. It would be at more of an advantage with a crinoline, but I don’t have one I *enjoy* wearing. Being uncomfortable sort of defeats the purpose.

Beautiful! You did a great job. It looks so comfy and feminine!
adorable- love the pink!
Very nice dress!
Your dress looks much more wear-able than the pattern photo on the Vogue site.
Beautiful! I love that shade of pink.
I've been doing some catching up on Sew Retro, and I have so enjoyed looking at all your projects. Each one is so well-done, and I think I'm in love with this one… so pink and charming and feminine!
JennySlash: I did have some fears about the pattern. I'm not a Barbie, but as you pointed out it isn't that extreme.
