Hey, you only go around once...right? It''s totally fine to splurge on yourself every now and again. If you like the dress, get the dress...you''ll enjoy it, and wear it.
Didn't you just buy a lovely, fat, chunky cushion and a dainty little band in January?Date: 2/24/2009 11:14:26 AM

True. I'm just being cheap because it's still fresh from when I had to sell my diamonds. We are comfortable enough to do buy it now, but I'll think about it.
And BitT, that would be AWESOME! My mom sews and could help me make it
Thanks for the review on how it is on Bia! I think a local shop here has them so I am going to call them and see if they do so I can try it on in person. I think it would be fun to get black or eggplant and a patterned one. The clingy fabris IS a consideration though. And I was wondering if it would realy look THAT different . Have you tried it as a skirt? Does that work?Date: 2/24/2009 4:32:14 PM

wow you guys sew too! Superwomen here on PS.
I own one of these in ruby, and I really like it (it was a gift from my FSIL). The first time I tried it on, I couldn''t do get it on--but I''m hopeless. A friend of mine had to help me learn how to get it on right, but now, I love it.
My review: On the one hand, its cool that you can get so many looks out of one piece, but on the other hand, it all sort of looks the same, so its not like you''re getting all these different dresses in one (not IMO anyway). I want to get it in another color (maybe black?) Another thing, the fabric is clingy, at least the one I have, so if you don''t like clingy fabric, beware. My BFF tried it on and she hated the way it looked...she''s very busty and couldn''t wear her normal bra with it. Also, someone mentioned it unraveling...if you put it on correctly, it doesn''t loosen and fall off, so no worries. All-in-all, it''s a hot dress, and violet02, it''s perfect as a pack-light-vacation-dress.

TheBigT - awesome pattern thanks for sharing that! I''m not a sewer really though. I wonder if it would be less pricey to have a seamstress make you one then to buy one. That way you can have whatever fabric you want.
Overall though it''s a super cute idea!

Yes. I had to return it and sell my original round center stone. But that''s another thread
