Of course, I almost always forget!dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05106577421276201593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-51364514453091500012008-02-05T21:11:00.000-05:002008-02-05T21:11:00.000-05:00Love the wrap dress, i do think the fabric is a li...Love the wrap dress, i do think the fabric is a little busy, otherwise it look fine to meMariela Alethiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109474450521019305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-77789613140061867052008-02-05T18:15:00.000-05:002008-02-05T18:15:00.000-05:00I'm going to agree with you.

I think the wrap does give you a waistline, but I can only go by the picture you posted. You may feel more comfortable with a jacket with the dress, but really, it looks just fine the way it is. Wear it a few times and I think it will "grow" on you.Nancy Winninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291320098379550586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-60933452234665782442008-02-05T06:34:00.000-05:002008-02-05T06:34:00.000-05:00Love the fabric and love the dress on you!

Although the print is busy, as you mentioned, it is a very monotone earthy tone and not at all 'loud' and screaming at every passerby.<BR/>The fit is very nice.

Actually Elaray, I do like the print on you. The belt does fall to your smallest area, it just looks like an empire. Which is in style, so go with it. Tricot interfacing has a stretchy direction and a non-stretchy direction. You may have cut it going the non-stretchy way. <BR/><BR/>~Sherril~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-42490451012248599582008-02-04T13:11:00.000-05:002008-02-04T13:11:00.000-05:00Elaray - the small contrasting belt is what I thou...Elaray - the small contrasting belt is what I thought of too when I looked at the dress...then I would definitely add a jacket to give you a longer silhouette. You are brave...because I don't own a knit wrap dress for this reason...no waist! :)Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-13109186218332128352008-02-04T09:43:00.000-05:002008-02-04T09:43:00.000-05:00I agree with your daughter too, the dress is lovel...I agree with your daughter too, the dress is lovely. I like it so much that I am going to make one based on what I saw here. If you are worried about the waist thing, then maybe you might want to try a contrasting belt. Personally I think the waist belt might be a bit high on you, but it is hard to tell from the photo. There is a new show on called Eli Stone. The secretary is the wife of the DR on Gray's Anatomy. You should check out the show for her wardrobe. She is a plus sized gal, but they did a great job of defining a waist for her. Mainly they did with a small contrasting belt, but the illusion worked!

Atleast the last time I wore a wrap dress was 2summers ago. Weight gained and lost and gained again. Starting to lose again and lose is what I'll continue to do. LOL Don't hide the dress, wear it with pride and joy.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583861098581314735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-72205994295232014382008-02-03T18:53:00.000-05:002008-02-03T18:53:00.000-05:00I think it looks great!
