"I had so much trouble finding plus sized dresses that both fit and flattered my figure until I started sewing my own. Linen is now my go-to all year round. This is a Vintage Vogue pattern, can't go wrong with a circle skirt, and the linen has great drape!"

If you're interested, due to the support of my designs, I'm starting a blog called Chubby Sewcialist which will cover a lot of these topics, plus pattern-hacking for better fit, b/c even my skinny friends can't find clothes that fit their bodies. pt8

Very pretty ☺
It still won't let me vote but let's see if I can comment? Your design is gorgeous and you look stunning!!
Is this an original? I feel like I've seen this before...a lot...original design or pattern?
Absolutely beautiful!
This is so pretty, I love this!
Which Vintage Vogue pattern is this? Is it V2902? I'd give it a vote, but this is a DESIGN contest and seeing as this wasn't DESIGNED by you I can't vote for it.
Ah, yes. Vintage Vogue, somehow I missed that the first time I read the description. I have to agree, I wouldn't feel right voting in a design contest for a design that isn't an original.
I'm happy to see dresses I could wear represented & also thankful for all of the other beautiful work of other designers that you shared w me and encouraged me to vote for/support! It's inspiring me to want to try making something for myself!
It's not clear to me whether "ADMIN" is an actual admin or a user account named "admin". Regardless, patterns do not grant legal protection in the United states to anything other than the pattern itself; the final work or design is owned by the maker.
@JOSHUA, for what it's worth, "ADMIN" has a user ID of #274453, which is roughly 1,400 higher than your user ID, so it seems like a new account. Also, if the entry violates the rules, the admins would just remove it. No need to leave an ambiguous comment.
Funny how in that last 24 hours of the contest the "disqualify her" ppl come out... and the heading above this comment box says "Say Something Nice About This Design" just saying
This is such a gorgeous dress. You can see the craftsmanship (craftswomanship) that's been put into it. It's super flattering and looks like it'll work on just about every and any body type.
Figure flattering and beautiful color balance. It's perfect!
Beautiful!
This is a beautiful dress. I really love the combination of colours.
