I just finished a dress with the help of my sewing teacher and I must say that when I look at it I feel like spring (we are still wearing winter clothes at the moment) or even summer. It's such a colorful fabric and as strange as it may seem one of the few black pieces of clothing that I own. The dress is at 99% inspired by a Nani Iro pattern but adjusted to my skinny-flat-boobs-long-torso-kinda-wide-hips body! I can't wait to wear it!!! 
Since my Lines & Shapes books are still orphans (the winner didn't contact me with her address) I just picked another winner. And the winner is: sarahkeith from Dear Little Water.
Have a lovely week blog friends xox

It's gorgeous Claudia.
Hi! I just found your blog. Very interesting! Love this dress!
I'm SO THRILLED that I won the books! Thank you thank you thank you! And thanks some more. seriously!
Also, WOW! That dress is completely amazing. Jolly good show!
it's gorgeous and you look lovely in it
Your dress is stunning! I can't get over the gorgeous fabric. Seriously, I can't stop looking at it. You did such an amazing job!
your dress came out so beautifully! I have that book too and I think that you (and your teacher) are right to be inspired by the patterns but to modify them too. good job!
PS Is double gauze hard to sew? I have some that I haven't had the chance to use yet. any tips?
The dress is fantastic! I think that the fabric is just perfect (I am a black freak but that fabric would mean I was wearing colour!)
This dress is amazing!!! i love it and your blog too;)
Fabulous dress! I love the uber bright prints against the black. Well done.
that dress is gorgeous and looks absolutely beautiful on you. by the way if you ever tire of it you can send it to me. we apparently have the same figure.

Beautiful - you and the dress.
Your dress turned out beautifully. I made a kimono-style dressing gown with the same fabric (pale blue version) and love it. I can imagine it would feel so good as a summer dress.
Did you purchase the fabric in Montreal? I bought mine in NYC, but am hoping Nani Iro is available somewhere near me.
what a fabulous dress and in a great fabric too. Where did you buy the book from?
Bummer, I e-mailed you my address at clo_wn@hotmail.com because that's the e-mail on your profile page. Is that not valid anymore?

such a pretty dress!
and as for the "naughty" french book, it's more like mischievous...it has a lot of swear words and slang. :)
you're so talented, wish i could sew like that!
Lovely!! I like the pattern and fabric of NANI IRO!!
lovely pattern...lovely colours...

Beautiful, beautiful dress!
The dress looks beautiful on you. I hope you get some warm weather so you can wear it soon!
YOU seem to be destined for great things! This dress is a feat!
Claudia! I'm just now catching up on your blog after a long time away and it's fantastic!
I am obsessed with Nani Iro and have the book with this pattern, but can't figure how to make it -- I'm going to try this weekend, though :)
I'm in your part of the world, now -- we moved from LA to Vermont last year -- so I'm sending you good thoughts from down here!
