Vogue 1250
I have been wanting this color fabric FOREVER! I finally got it a month or so ago and couldn't wait for the perfect pattern to surface! I was looking in the April InStyle and fell in LOVE with all the colors!!! I tore this page out first:
I couldn't decide what shoes to wear with them and Toy reminded me of this page:
DUH!! Nude! LOL I've been wanting to wear these for a while now. PERFECT oppoturnity! LOL
Pattern Sizing: 14-20
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? SUPER DUPER EASY.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved how simple it was.
Fabric Used: Modal Knit Jersey
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added 2 inches to the length.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I am SO making this again in black. This will be a GREAT Little black dress!!!
Conclusion: This was such an easy pattern! It took me no time to make it. I hate that it doesn't have the finished measurements on the pattern pieces, but I just did my regular size and was fine. Because it was such a close fitting dress, I made it just a tad bit longer than the original. not much though. I like the way it came out. I think this might be my most favorite dress I've sewn this year!!!

Y'all know I have to get my sparkly in some where lol
You know, its ALL about the shoes! LOL
Love you boo! lol

Now you know this dress is bad. The whole outfit is bad as a matter of fact. I love this dress. Nothing is like having a knit dress! The shoes are killer and I saw the matching nail polish too!

Now that was fast work, good to know it is sized consistently too. You look fabulous and those shoes really are special!

I commented on PR, but seriously – this is so fab. The color is great for you and I am so glad to see that it looks so good on a shapely gal. That skinny minnie model for Vogue doesn’t fill it out at all. It looks so much better on you!
Vanessa/ 07.04.2011
That is your color!!! And the shoes are a perfect choice!
Regina/ 07.04.2011
I just laughed out loud when I saw that your toenails matched the color of your dress. You just go Girl. The whole outfit is lovely and the shoes are to die for.
Alethia/ 07.04.2011
What can I say? the dress is off the chain, here you go with another fabulous pair of shoes? May I have them, please! LOL

BEAUTIFUL color fabric. Looks great on you. Like the nude shoes 🙂 I’ve picked up one closed toe and 2 open toe pairs myself and have yet to wear any of them.

You look marvelous Adrienne! I passed right over this pattern when I saw it. But now thanks to you, I will buy it. It looks much better with curves than it does on the model. Great job!

Hey, girl. I love this whole outfit. That dress is so pretty. I like the drape in the front with that very pretty necklace. The shoes have my mouth hanging wide open. Love them so much.
Brenda/ 08.04.2011
Oouch! Killer color, killer dress, bag. Girl, you look stunning! Just received this pattern in the mail and was surprised that the new Vogues have their finished measurements on the pattern. You are burning up that machine, better save up for a new one soon. LOL
Brenda/ 08.04.2011
OMG! How did I forget to comment on those shoes. Luv, Luv.
Neecha/ 08.04.2011

Angela/ 08.04.2011
It’s all about the shoes. As RZ would say, “I die”. LOL Love the dress. The colour is fabu on you. Glad I’m not the only one rocking a pink bag. Even if it doesn’t alway “match” what I’m currently wearing. i just treat it like a neutral.
Michelle B/ 08.04.2011
Very cute! and the shoes are killer too!
Barbara/ 09.04.2011
I was going back and forth on this dress but now I see it on you, and see how different/better it looks on someone with shape, I am definitely making it. Thanks for doing this up so fast. And yes you are the queen of accessorizing.
Myra/ 09.04.2011
You have 40 comments here and I still say…there just aren’t enough words to describe how gorgeous you look in this entire outfit! Every piece is a “Winner”!!

NuJoi/ 10.04.2011

Tanya/ 11.04.2011
40+ comments should more than let you know this dress is a winner and just like everybody else I love it and the shoes are killer, I mean they probably would literally kill me lol.
Nerd Girl/ 12.04.2011
Love it! That drape neck is killer!
Wanett/ 14.04.2011
This is a great dress on you! I love the color and I am seriously envious of your ability to walk in those heels AND on cobblestones no less!
Minister of Style/ 15.04.2011
You look beautiful!
Tany/ 19.04.2011

Your outfit is GORGEOUS (the dress is perfect, the color is fantastic, in a way that makes me want to go out and buy some fabric in that same color, lol) and the shoes are a DREAM!
