Oh girls, you are making me blush, thank you all for the lovely compliments. It means a lot to get such positive feedback. The fabric's I've used for all these dresses I bought on my trips back home to Australia. And to keep on the Hawaiian theme this is a two piece set I made a while back and just dug it out today after the move.

oh goldwyn girl....the jealousy is just oozing out of me! love everything about that green dress picture. i have a purse similar to yours (yours is cuter than mine though) and when i use it, i always get at least one person to compliment it.

i wish i had a better figure to wear dresses like that. sigh

Thank you all :eek: AllaboutEve I'll keep a refreshing drink ready for you. The red dress is view C from this pattern. I believe it is out of print but there are a few on ebay at the moment.

Thanks GGirl, I just bought the Simplicity pattern from Ebay I'll need to decide on a fabric now. Did you use a regular dress weight fabric for yours or was it a heavier weight quilting fabric?

(ps thanks for the drink!lol )

This is a black linen dress with red pipping based on Simplicity 1892. I moved the opening to the front, added facing and buttons.

This one is a Hawaiian halter dress using the halter top from Simplicity 0517 and the high-waisted skirt from McCall's 9158.

This isn't the best picture, and my face looks all messed up cause of the camera, but I love how this turned out. It's navy blue and has two fake pocket flaps on the front...Except everyone kept addressing me as the first lady all night, it was a little presidential.

You know, one of these days I'm going to have to kidnap a few of you US gals and set up a mini sweat-shop in my basement where you will toil night and day to make me the perfect wardrobe...

Goldwyn Girl - you're in trouble, you too Pink. Sleep with one eye open kamikat ;)

AllaboutEve, I used a dress weight, polycotton. I want to see your finished dress.

kamikat, lovely as always, you choose such cute patterns.

ValerieAmelia, very elegant.

Pink Dahlia, such a pretty fabric, looks great on you.

MissHannah, :eek: lol lol lol

If I got a free trip to London out of it, I would do it!
