The style suits you very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear/page/2#post-1716601 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 23:56:07 +0000 pil 1716601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and wish I was so talented. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear/page/2#post-1716532 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 20:38:35 +0000 Ledonna N. 1716532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Send it over here to Chicago lol.&nbsp; I love it I wounder would a different color legging pop the mesh.&nbsp; I also want to see it without the leggins.&nbsp; Your sewing skill are amazing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear/page/2#post-1716526 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 20:00:11 +0000 Janet 1716526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it without the cardigan and would like to see it without the pants underneath too. It's a fun treatment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716505 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 19:20:30 +0000 kellygirl 1716505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this and would totally wear it as is!

Very interesting pattern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716471 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 18:05:49 +0000 AndiB 1716471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say donate it to me! &nbsp;I love this! &nbsp;I'm wearing a similarly shaped dress over straight cuffed jeans today, and this is so my go to outfit. &nbsp;I think it looks fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716395 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 14:10:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1716395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the ideas, everyone!</p> <p>Brooklyn, I think I might wear it the way you suggest. I liked it best with these footless tights, and thought it would work with leggings and other layers, too. </p> <p>Joy, a long cardigan is a great idea. </p> <p>Karie, I'm laughing at your tablecloth image. I've done that method, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716379 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 13:00:13 +0000 Anonymous 1716379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laughing at your one hit wonder commentary, lols!<br /> I love the concept and shape of this one. I actually like the mesh with the footless tights.<br /> I would be interested to see how it works out in other fabrics.<br /> I do agree that it would be nicer without the cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716370 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 12:29:18 +0000 Mochi 1716370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should totally wear this. It's flattering and cool. (Without the cardi, though.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716368 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 12:21:43 +0000 Karie 1716368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've done that before too - I call it a "wearable muslin" but mine never look as gorgeous as this (the one I'm making now most closely resembles a tablecloth). I like the mesh at the bottom. It adds interest and another dimension to the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716304 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 03:44:12 +0000 Anonymous 1716304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it just as it is. The mesh layer adds a feminine touch. I 'd like to see it with a long black or charcoal cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716287 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 02:51:08 +0000 Jaime 1716287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great, but not with the cardigan. I especially like the neckline that is sort of a curved v. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716271 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 01:12:39 +0000 Brooklyn 1716271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it just as it is FC. I wouldn't chop it. The proportions look good and the lantern effect is lovely and subtle. I am wondering if you could layer it over a long sleeve fitted black tee when the weather gets cooler and then wear it with leggings (or skinnies) and ankle boots. And maybe your khaki leather jacket. I think it would look awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716269 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 01:09:55 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1716269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! <br />Liz, I could offer it up on style exchange, couldn't I? I'm most often a 4 in US sizes. <br />Diana, interesting idea! I do have a pattern for a style like what you are describing, and I've never made it.<br />Cerinda, I will share the next one here. I don't have fabric to make it, and summer is running short, so it may be next year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716245 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 23:11:20 +0000 Jeanie 1716245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pattern and how you styled it and someone will be very happy with it if you donate it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716244 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 23:10:29 +0000 Suz 1716244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am impressed with your process. That is a lot of work for one-wear but I think that is what makes the greats, the greats. You have to put in a lot of hours in "studies" before you find the line.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716242 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 23:05:23 +0000 Anonymous 1716242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too. And I would say if I didn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716237 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 22:48:33 +0000 Angie 1716237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable, Sharan.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716232 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 22:34:43 +0000 Carla 1716232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorten the whole, with the mesh being higher up and the lantern effect following your curves more closely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716231 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 22:33:25 +0000 Diana 1716231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! And I would totally wear it. </p> <p>If you're looking for ideas, I actually think it would be neat in a stiffer woven fabric for a more architectural look. You'd probably have to do some kind of darting or shaping at the waist to get it to "poof" just right in that case. This softer, more subtle lantern shape is probably easier to wear though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716224 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:50:43 +0000 Jenn 1716224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. It's interesting how the mesh gives the illusion of a shorter dress, while making it more wearable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716210 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:25:51 +0000 shedev 1716210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716206 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:14:18 +0000 Cerinda 1716206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way more fun than making a muslin! &nbsp;Great pattern. &nbsp;Will you share the next version?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-potential-one-time-wear#post-1716198 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 20:47:33 +0000 approprio 1716198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it.

It's good tho, with that evident. </p>
