I agree with CHL looking after the women who are bigger than than D cup. I would love a few articles of garment construction on the dresses featured on the back but please continue this back page as its inspirational.Maybe something on how to grade patterns such as if your top is 16 but the hips 12.

Wow Such inspiration for my the garments I make in 2011, Thank you

Well done. You have inspired me . Ros

Wow. Thank you for sharing it with me. When one looks at the dresses of today off the peg but so many have little or no interfacing & what a difference it makes. Was the fabric a good weight to support the horse hair interfacing? Cheers Ros Tasmania

I love shoes & thought all I could wear& enjoy every one of them

My first machine was a tiny Singer hand machine from my mothers childhood.I still have it & it still does a great chain stitch. I then graduated to a large heavy Dutch hand machine creating so many Cindy dolls clothes. At school hated sewing as I could only get the treadle machine to go backwards no matter how hard I tried . More than half way through the year I was allowed the electric machine.Bliss. I now have a Bernina 1130 & Janome plus a cover stitch & serger but the most important thing is i am still sewing & enjoying it .

great design , well fitting garment & makes you look like you have spent a fortune on a designer dress then it still wouldnt be a one off. welll done

It is great to see your dress , looks a god fit but the under skirt will make it look better but make a silky layer between the net & skin otherwise you will have a sctatchy night out as I did . well done

inspired me to try going outside the square. thanks

wow its fantastic. I have a pattern from a commercial firm & thats my next years challenge at the sewing guild. You are such an amazing seamstresss & such an inspiration that now I will try instaed of putting it off as I have had the material & pattern for many months. Thank you

I thought this was well thought out & the last comment is so true so I recently donated all my bits to a migrant learn to sew group & its interesting to see my pieces of fabric walking around the streets all made up & someone has fallen in love with them. Some of these fabrics I have kept for many years carting them around the globe then thinking what made me buy that its not me

inspirational as soon as I have time I will experiment with plaiting
