I’ve written all about my own take on this 1963 pattern over on my blog. I redrew the pattern from scratch, adding a few details that the original doesn’t have whilst, I hope, maintaining the general ‘style’ of the dress.

That. is. awesome.
That looks great on you! Good for you for making an LBD. I would wear that all the time (well, whenever I went out someplace fancy.)
Nice with the shoes too, understated, classic, and elegant.
The dress is adorable and you look fabulous in it.
Beautiful! I like the bias binding facings you did. (I saw that part on you blog. And Wow! to the corsets.)
very cute… I dress as Audry for Halloween and many people guessed who i was… 😉
WOW,WOW,WOW. This looks so great on you. I wish I had the skill to sew and the body to wear that. mycatsmom
