I need your opinion please

by Chloe on March 26th, 2008

I love the way this dress looks on the pattern envelope:

simplicity wrap dress

image source: Simplicity Patterns (pattern #2981)

But I’m not sure how it would look on me…. I’m 5′10″, with a proportionally long waist and a pear or “A” shaped figure - and I’m in my late-ish twenties :-)

Any opinions? I’ve got a new poll set up on the right sidebar - I’d love to hear what you think!

Chloe, that is a fabulous pattern - can’t wait to see what fabric you choose!

I think you could pull it off with some bright coloured fabric and the tie higher on your waist!

Hmmm… I think the consensus is yes so far :-) I’m thinking about a smaller polka-dot or a summery print for this one.

Okay, I have to laugh…..

This is one of the patterns on my wish list!
You and I have VERY similar taste…. guess it’s because I’m your mother (this time).
