Even I am tempted, and I haven't sewed in 20 years?</p> <p>On the pattern it looks like there is a sweetheart neckline-shaped option--would that suit you better? (I personally like the high neck, but YMMV) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232420 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:26:30 +0000 Susie 1232420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same thought...could the neckline be cut into a V? Otherwise I think it's beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232407 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:19:47 +0000 Aida 1232407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Sveta, I think a V-neck would suite you much better. I'd also like to see it just a bit shorter than it looks on the model (that looks mid-calf, just above would be better IMO). A linen blend sounds fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232362 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 17:45:39 +0000 lyn67 1232362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, and beautiful! I'm in awe about those giant pockets:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232338 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 17:27:43 +0000 Angie 1232338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very exciting. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232292 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:42:37 +0000 Sveta 1232292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a beautiful dress but I would go for&nbsp; a deeper neckline for you. You look magnificent in a deep V! I am sure you can modify the pattern to change to neckline, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232285 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:28:44 +0000 Beth Ann 1232285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit;&nbsp; The pattern allows you to cut the bodice based on cup size.&nbsp; How cool is that!&nbsp; Also, I think it could have a very modern EF look in the right fabric.</p> <p>Thanks, Adelfa!&nbsp; Of course, it seems it's never going to warm up in this neck of the woods!&nbsp; Still, summer has come every year, without fail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232284 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:28:17 +0000 KMRW 1232284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it beautiful and so right for&nbsp;spring. My opinion is that the neckline is not too high as it accommodates the center split. It is lovely in its simplicity and the hem length makes it feminine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232278 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:20:27 +0000 Anonymous 1232278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is beautiful, and I am going to check it out. I want to make a couple dresses for when it is too too hot, and this pattern looks perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232269 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:11:19 +0000 Adelfa 1232269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this would be beautiful on you. The slit and the bare shoulders balance the higher neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-flare#post-1232250 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:50:08 +0000 Beth Ann 1232250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm planning on doing some fabric shopping in the next week.&nbsp; I'd like to make as least one fuller midi skirt and perhaps a dress or two in the next couple of months.&nbsp; </p> <p>What's your impression of this pattern for a feminine summer dress?&nbsp; I see it in an abstract (sophisticated) floral or a linen blend or chambray.&nbsp; I adore the pockets and the length and flare in the skirt.&nbsp; I'm less sure about the high neckline on me.</p> <p>This is a pattern from Simplicity's "Amazing Fit" collection.&nbsp; They make it really easy to customize seam placement and sizing.&nbsp; No more short waists and misplaced darts!</p> <p><a href="http://www.simplicity.com/p-6062-misses-miss-petite-amzing-fit-dresses.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplicity.com/p-60.....esses.aspx</a></p>
