    That story about your husband is hilarious to me. My husband is fairly short on compliments too, but when he does compliment it's always so random. I made a knit top with rouching down the center front recently, and his thoughts were "Did you make that? That doesn't look like you made it. It looks like something Dolly Parton would wear." 🤣I don't know where he got that, but it was so funny, and I definitely took it at as a compliment coming from him. He does keep me humble about my makes in general LOL. But yeah, that dress does look especially great on you. Sometimes you just don't know until you try something.

    I think the ruffled dress looks so nice on you! You are so right on trying new things , I have found this to be so true. It can be rather scary as I don't want to make something I won't wear, but it either turns out or a lesson, both a win.

    I agree with your husband on this one. Something about the ruffles actually minimizes your bust and is very slimming. I’m glad you got the chance to try it.

    Oh. My. Goodness! I am also really surprised by this dress. It is SO flattering, and I truly would never have expected it to be. I too avoid ruffles like these, for the same reason you do. I always assume that my very full bust will not be served well by ruffles, particularly the volume of ruffles that this dress has. I would just imagine that I would look like a very fancy golf tee.😂 Thank you for reminding me that “rules” are not always written in stone. ❤

You have quite a few that I lovethough. I also didn’t think that Style worked well on me and then I bought one for my son’s wedding in the Dominican and it was lovely.

    Thanks Whitney! Your dress is fabulous. I'm definitely not a "ruffle girly". But this one and every other version I've seen is making me rethink that.😊 I may find an affordable fabric and give it a try. If nothing else, it's a great skill builder, and that is always worthwhile.

    @jebobarr4091 6 месяцев назад +1

    So I agree with you. I would think the ruffles would have been too much. But it looks great on you. I think it makes you look very balanced. I looks feminine but not too sweet. I think the width of the ruffles may be making the difference.

    I have used the same fabric from Joann's for a pair of shorts and woven joggers and it's wonderful to wear, very nice for summer. It looks great in this design and all the proportions and ruffles work together beautifully. I'm not sure it would work in a print as well (maybe without the neckline ruffle?) but the solid color and the drape of this fabric is perfection! 🌞

    • @TomKatStitchery
      @TomKatStitchery  6 месяцев назад +1

      I agree--the full ruffle version is perfect for solids or very small prints. Did you see the version that Jenny from Cashmerette made???

    • @addiekl
      @addiekl 6 месяцев назад

      Yes, the green and white medium scale print is not very busy & without the ruffle or sleeves isn't overwhelming. Jenny is also a little taller than average which helps with the proportions.

    @teresastevens2084 6 месяцев назад

    It’s a good thing I’m not a betting woman. I would have never bet that this dress with all those ruffles at your chest and sleeves would complement your figure, but, it certainly did! I think one reason is your choice of a solid color and secondly your fabric substrate choice offered just enough body. I would have passed on this dress based on line drawings alone. Seeing it on you makes all the difference in the world! Great advice given in this episode, Whitney! ❤

    This mustard color dress does look good on you though as a fellow short person, I’d loose some of the ruffles for me. It also looks like loads of fun to wear and that color which would make most of us look ill, is stunning on you.

    Love LOVE this dress! I do agree with your husband: I think this pattern is a very flattering one for your body proportions. I'm a busty lady too, but I've always worn ruffles, because I like them and I do find they often 'minimize' my ample breasts instead of highlighting them. I think the colour is a very good choice too: I love the combination with the teal tassles. I'm a little in love with the dress 🥰

    • @TomKatStitchery
