Extremely Short and Quick Post: 2010 Crossword Dress
So, quickly:
here's my dress from the 2010 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. I broke 500 for the first time!

Thanks to Jan for taking the picture (on my cell phone).
Also: this is one of those BurdaStyle Heidi dresses. I'll post a better picture of it later in the week.
Also: the fabric is from Spoonflower. I'll make it available this week too.
Also: yes, those are hot pink patent penny loafers.
Also: that's it.

I'm going to have to make me a Heidi dress. Looking forward to more pictures of this dress.

You look so stylish. Love the loafers and the accessories. I just downloaded the Heidi but haven't taped it together yet.

I really admire your style. Most people are completely incapable of pulling off the slightly funky or quirky things you often work into your wardrobe, but you always look fantastic. I especially love this outfit on you :)

That's about 900 times cooler than a crossword print tote bag (which I'm sure was ubiquitous at that particular convention!)

You always rock the crossword fabric - loved the pink accents, too! Glad I could help your blogging efforts by taking the photo - I look forward to checking regularly to see what neat dress you discover next! See you next year!

Congrats on breaking 500! I think I only glimpsed you passing by once during the weekend, didn't get to say hi, and didn't get to see the dress in person, so I'm glad there's a picture. (I'm also glad your outfit did not involve penguins.)
I'm just noting that the numbering of the squares on the fabric is somewhat odd :-)

Great dress! And I agree with Lorene - would love to see more photos of this dress, without the cardigan.

Makes me wish I had a big magic marker to start filling in the answers! I'm a crossword puzzle addict!

I like it! I need to come see you more often as I begin to think about sewing for myself again and not just for my daughter ;)

This is the best crossword dress I've ever seen! And all the others have been yours, come to think of it. Fantastic fabric! Excellent scale! That dress alone makes up my entire smile ration for the day. If not the week. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you and keep up the brilliant work!

Erin you look great! I seen you in another dress like this one; you were standing in a lobby (perhaps a hotel lobby) with black pennyloafers and you had your hands in your pockets. You look great!
