I just made one in slightly stretchypoly satin and it turned out a fabulous evening dress. You just have to be more careful about the neck opening.

I am still a lit...Thank you so much for your reply! I am still a little confused. When looking at the last drawn diagram picture, the one that shows the side seam, I am assuming that the seam is on the opposite side of the dress as the shoulder strap, so the belt can go through the created hole. If that is correct, then the width of the dress is all of the material that is to the right of the side seam, which seems like a lot. I'm assuming the side with the shoulder strap is sleeveless. So all of the material that is beyond the neck & shoulder opening will drape around you so you can tie the belt around it. It just seems like it would be quite bulky. But when I look at the very last picture of the dress, with the one sleeve out to the side, it doesn't appear to be bulky at all. I'm having a hard time understanding how all of that extra fabric will not cause bulk. I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself well enough to make any sense lol. Hopefully you understand what I'm referring to. Anyway, it is a beautiful dress and I really hope to make it!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369725153313853720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-51790317266436972212014-10-08T07:55:48.865-05:002014-10-08T07:55:48.865-05:00Hi Susan,

So 1 end of the opening will be under the arm and the other end of the opening will be at the neck edge. So there is nothing to cut off. For privacy, see the seam but leave an opening for the tie to go through. There is no need for a seam on the other side as the tie goes around the fabric. Once the piece is together, try it on and decide the placement of the strap, or decide if you would like to have a strap. I hope this helps. Let me know if you still have questions.RhondaBusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555069797738423675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-44683576432844775992014-10-07T23:14:39.713-05:002014-10-07T23:14:39.713-05:00I sincerely hope you respond to this comment, beca...I sincerely hope you respond to this comment, because I love this dress and really want to make it! But I'm confused about the layout. On the side with the shoulder strap, do you cut the rest of the fabric off that side , creating one long seam the length of the dress? It seems if you didn't do that, there would be a lot of bulk, since there is still quite a bit of fabric beyond where the opening ends. But I only see one side seam, which is placed on the side with the sleeve. Please help me understand the final layout so I can duplicate your wonderful design!! Thank you so much in advance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369725153313853720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-48785781830388399632013-07-27T08:01:08.931-05:002013-07-27T08:01:08.931-05:00Love it as always.

This will determine where the opening begins. I have not posted a picture of me wearing this piece, but I will do so tomorrow, June 14, 2013 so you can see how it looks on the body. I'll leave a comment here with a link so you will be sure to see it.<br />RhondaBusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555069797738423675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-31874219015450916722013-06-11T16:54:00.973-05:002013-06-11T16:54:00.973-05:00Do you put the neck opening in the center?Do you put the neck opening in the center?The Busy Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436661456524769835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-22896816993804478972013-05-02T18:40:39.529-05:002013-05-02T18:40:39.529-05:00Very cool & thanks for the pattern as I will s...Very cool & thanks for the pattern as I will soon try!<br />DemiseAngelaiSewSweetBoutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474204858889113613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-61041882841039966292013-05-02T18:28:57.373-05:002013-05-02T18:28:57.373-05:00Very cool & thanks for the pattern as I will s...Very cool & thanks for the pattern as I will soon try!<br />DemiseAngelaiSewSweetBoutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474204858889113613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-25487632704425066872013-02-21T09:54:34.524-06:002013-02-21T09:54:34.524-06:00This looks amazing!!
