She made one for me, too, and we had mother-daughter dresses, which was quite the rage back then. You've inspired me to make it for myself. It looks great on you. My mother made them out of purple and white stripes. I won't do that. I just found your blog and was glad I looked at older posts. Thank you.Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12109237800893025798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873484124009887115.post-10789221228849586772011-05-19T23:46:36.027+10:002011-05-19T23:46:36.027+10:00I've been on the fence about sewing up a Walk ...I've been on the fence about sewing up a Walk Away but your version has convinced me I should go for it.

I am a plus size hourglass ("Figure 8" or "Ms. Peanut") so I have to alter any pattern to my figure, and this pattern, with its lack of sleeves was the test for my fitting sloper. I made it out of some black pinwale courdoroy from my stash and 99c/yd green gingham I bought a bolt of for mockups. I also made a modest crinoline from some scrap tulle to fluff it out. It's my go-to afternoon party dress!<br><br>https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/208330_214980768512263_100000010239614_883654_7801574_n.jpg<br><br>https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/227930_223651067645233_100000010239614_949307_3529828_n.jpgDeidrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04643791347680544751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873484124009887115.post-5240018545967047402011-05-16T00:13:57.438+10:002011-05-16T00:13:57.438+10:00Sam, your dress looks very pretty, love your choic...Sam, your dress looks very pretty, love your choice of fabric.
