  3. I like #3
    but if you are in AU and I am in the US, it would cost a lot to mail it here.

  4. Right now I am drooling over the cornflower blue version of this dress- http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=CLOTHES-DRESSES&id=033018&catId=CLOTHES-DRESSES&pushId=CLOTHES-DRESSES&popId=CLOTHES&sortProperties=&navCount=35&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=009&colorName=BLACK%20MOTIF&isSubcategory=true&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=

  8. Count me in! If I should be so lucky, I have grand plans for item #2, even if it takes several months for it to ship to Canada via snail-mail (not a bad thing, really, as it will give me time to finish my other projects).

  12. I'd like #1 or #2, I just can't choose between the two!

    My favorite dress of the moment is a dress I made several years ago, but it's just so summery and delicious: Vogue 2962. Here's my version of it: http://theyeartwentyfifty.blogspot.com/2009/07/vogue-2962.html

  13. I really love Vogue 8633: http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8633-products-10775.php?page_id=857
    I confess I haven't made it, but it looks delightfully versatile.

    Were I to win I'd most prefer #2. :)

  14. I really like Retro Butterick B5209 - http://butterick.mccall.com/b5209-products-7476.php?page_id=371.

    Though it is beyond my skills right now, I think this dress would make anyone look like a movie star.

    I would like to be entered for the Vogue pattern (#2).

    Thank you for the giveaway.

  15. I posted a link on my blog. Please enter me for pattern #2. Thanks again.

  16. Pattern 2 would be lovely! I do really like pattern 1 but I definitely don't have a 26 inch waist so that kinda rules it out for me.

    I'm currently lusting over this Vivien of Holloway dress - http://www.vivienofholloway.com/1950s-Halterneck-Prints/1950s-Halterneck-Blue-Rose-Dress-and-bolero.html
