   I would like more information on this.  I would be willing to try.  I am needing a dress for the spring for a wedding.  This might work for that.

   email me at [email protected]

   It could be a spring dress I guess. I shortened the sleeve and made this style for my mother from a cotton print. Laura

   Will you be making any of the styles with fuller skirts into patterns soon? There is no way I can wear a sheath, but I love your styles and would definitely want to try them.

   Not to worry, many styles will have full skirts. Join the mailing list at http://www.nostalgicpatterns.com/mailinglist.html to find out when new styles are available for purchase. Thanks for your interest! Laura

   I think your Pendleton dress is beautiful and I'd love to test your pattern for you. My sewing skills are such that this dress might be a notch up for me but I'm happy to try and give you honest feedback. Please email. [email protected]

   Will you eventually have illustrations with the directions?  Some of us are hopeless with written instructions! 

   It looks like a nice dress, but it's hard to tell the design details with the black fabric; do you have a sketch that we could see?

   I'm hoping that eventually my patterns will have illustrations with the directions, but for now, the styles are easy enough that I think most people will be able to sew them. The format that I've used in writing the directions are different from the standard directions, and I've been told that they are pretty easy to follow along without directions. The patterns do come with a technical drawing, so that should help. I've included a technical drawing for this new style with this post. Thanks for asking! Laura

   Laura, I replied earlier about testing your pattern via email only and wasn't sure whether that would allow you to reply to me.  Thought I had better try again through a Gatherings post just in case!  If you are still in need of a test seamstress, you can email me at [email protected].  Look forward to hearing from you.

   If you are still looking for testers, I would also be happy to try out your pattern. It is a lovely design that I think would look good on women of many different ages.

   How refreshing!  I went to your website and am intrigued.  The sizing seems just right for me, thank you!  The current original pattern is not right for me, but I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.  Best wishes in your business!!!  Mary
