Hi all! As much I as wanted to get a picture of my dress in the daylight I had to settle for the indoor light photo......nonetheless here is my dress!!!
I previously posted on the Neglected View phenomenon that affects a number of semi-popular pattern views in light of their accompanying views. I converted the the jumper dress view of Simplicity 3631 to after being inspired from a Rebecca Taylor dress. To recreate the look I had to convert the darts on the dress into pleats and lower the neck line. Below are the detail shots. I was fortunate enough to find beautiful hardware at Joyce Trimmings. By the way, I used a small dabs of glue from a glue gun to place the sewed on pieces before I sewed them on. Be for I did that I couldn't get them to stay put while I stitched.
I'm glad I did this project because it forced me move out comfort zone and think/sew out of the box. I think I'm going to wear it to brunch tomorrow :-)

Wow Cindy. With the hardware you've added, this looks RTW. I bet the waiter gives you a free mimosa tomorrow!
Cindy, it is gorgeous! You did a fabulous job!
The studs and jeweled pieces really make the dress! Good job!
OMG! The dress is so fabulous. You did a real good job.
absolutely HOT!
it looks like the designer one, very well done.
Out of comfort zone do you great, you made an awesome job. Enjoy both new dress and brunch tomorrow.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very lovely. Happy New Year. :)
I love the embellishments!
FANTABULOUS!!! I really like the dress and your modifications. Thanks for the link to Joyce Trimmings
Beautiful, it looks identical to the one in the magazine. Well, i guess 2008 is the year for me to step out of my comfort zone. Greatttttttt job
All of these adjectives come to mind to tell you how wonderful the dress is...so double dog ditto to what the previous posters have said! I just love your version of the dress!
You did an amazing job of recreating the look yet making it your own! Are you going to make the jacket now to go over the dress?
Lovely dress! Suggestion - Unless Joyce told you they were drycleanable beforehand, take a little sample to test before drycleaning. I have had some embellishments ruined by drycleaners when I didn't know the finish on my embellishments would come off. Looks beautiful!
Beautiful job on the dress. You can give Rebecca a run for her money with that dress.
That looks so cute on you. I think you need to step out of your comfort zone more often if that's what you can come up with. Beautiful job.
Snaps for the kid!! Your dress came out lovely!!!! We need to chat about the embellishments. I want to do the same for a shirt pattern I have.
OMG you did a fantastic job!!!Love it love it!!
WOW! It totally looks like that rebecca taylor dress! But I like your beads better, they have more dimention and interest. It fits you fabulously! You totally "made it work" like Tim Gunn would say :)
Cindy, Work it mama, work it! When are you going to open your boutique.
Lovely dress. I always cherish the white dress. I love to wear white dress so much. Cindy, it is awesome! The design is really unique and exclusive. Thanks for great sharing...
