Cute alter Yulie! I like it with the sash, I think it would look nice in additional prints too.

Yea, I a am very happy you like these Yulie and Guylian! They were inspired by Steam Punk buttoned leg warmers, and the new Ponte fabric that CS is offering.

Love this skirt. It is hard to choose but this one is my favorite.

Well done Anna-Maria, This would go so nicely with a lot of the skirts on this site. It would work well with corset too!

Nicely done MM! I like the buttons down the collar. I really think it would make a nice coat too.

I wanted to explain this one. It is a second try at this design. It is different than my last try in that there are more buttons and I dropped the satin. But the reason for the repeat is this: I have seen that this skirt gets pinned a lot on Pintrest. So I thought maybe it was more popular than its scores indicated first time around. (There was the big mess of unfounded accusation about the print) which I think may have messed up the score. So here it is again. But also I think it looks better now.

This is really pretty Patricia! I like the swoopy Victorian feeling you have going on here.

Well done MB. I really like the idea of a slit zipper.

Thank you Mary, Marina and Jackstar! :)

@Lesley--Thank you for the inspiration on this design! I never would have come up with this dress without your inspiration. Also I love the addition of the Ponte fabric. I think we have your suggestion to CS, to thank for that as well. @Chic Star-- Well done I love it.*** And thank you all for the nice comments, I am really glad you like the prototype-- although at this phase I see the result being more of CS design teams work than mine.

Thank you Trina, Bella, and Jackstar! I am very glad you like it.

by AMBER MIDDAUGH 121 days ago

Thank you all very much! A lot of the kick of this dress design comes from Ann-Marias wonderful print. I really like this whole print series Thanks Anna-Maria.

by AMBER MIDDAUGH 121 days ago

Thank you Marina, Aleya, Jackstar, Anna-Maria,Candice,and ME. Your comments and positive encouragement mean a lot to me!!! I do read them and I really appreciate it. I just try hard to comment as little as possible on CS. :) @Mariana I took your advise and wish listed this. Kinda funny that I had forgoten too.

On a side note---I wanted to thank ChicStar for accepting this design. Thank you also to all those here with nice comments and congratulations, I really appreciate it and am happy you like the design!

20 extra regular votes should make no difference to the score. The score should stay about the same regardless of the number of people who vote (if the voting is being done by non biased people) . But 20 guaranteed YES votes (regardless of design quality) or 20 solid rigged NO votes ---is the difference between a positive and a negative score most of the time.

Really pretty skirt Ana, I especially like the tie up sides.

by AMBER MIDDAUGH 160 days ago

I really like this one Candy! Both the bustle and the lacing are really nice. I wish they would make the waist and bow out of velvet. :)

by AMBER MIDDAUGH 160 days ago

Well done Julene! I really like this alter. Shortening the sleeves really gives the dress a nice line.
