[Sarah Morel]

I love all the dresses that you have made- but my favorite out of this bunch is the pinafore dress. I bought the dress framelits and have yet to use them- I guess I would rather look at all the ones that you have created.

[Laura Kowalski]

I just all the dress and now know how to do some of the cute layers. Thanks for sharing.

[Holly]

WOW! Patty, what great and awesome things you did with the dress. I still have not gotten mine out and played with it. Have had since the Spring catty came out and when I placed my first order. After Easter I have to play, because I love the frames you do up with these in, just hope I can figure it out..

[Jan Waters]

[Aileen]

Just when I thought I had seen all the ideas for the dresses, you come up with more!!! I love each and every one of them. Thank you so much for sharing these with us.

[Judy]

Love all your creative ideas - my cuts, dress and framelits are coming tomorrow. I see lots of playing in the future!!

[Debi Pippin]

Patty love all your ideas. I have been spending lots of time with mine too, I love figuring out different ways of using them and have made everything from bras to purses to underware and modern and old fashioned bathing suits.. To do a bathing suit just take the dress frame it self and put it on top of a dress with out the sleeves upside down and you will have a modern one piece. But if you lay the dress frame piece over top and trace the inner neck piece for the crotch then just draw or cut straight across the top of the leg you have the old fashioned bathing suit.

If you are cutting out several dresses in a row look at the waste in between the dresses; that triangular shape if you cut a small inner triangle for the strap it makes the perfect purse when you add the neck line cut out to make a contrasting top or cover for the purse. with a tiny brad.

Hope this adds 2 more ways to your 10!
