Stunning! The dress lines look fabulous on you, and I really love the key hole at the back. I'm definitely adding this Mccalls patterns to my wishlist - thanks for the inspiration :)

Absolutely beautiful. You look amazing in this yellow, lace dress. Great styling too.

Yellow certainly suits you and the dress looks fabulous on you - I really like that pattern too I too mya have to add it to my wish list.

Love it! The keyhole opening in the back is a nice little detail. Pretty, and fun!

Gorgeous! You look so good in yellow! I love the lace keyhole detail you added at the back. Great work.

Hi Erica

I have been following you for some time now and I love everything you have made! They all look RTW and this yellow piece is just my favourite! I have this pattern coming to me soon and I am so inspired by your version!

Eek! So cute! You look great in yellow-- no wonder you love it so much! I love the keyhole opening and the unlined detail at the shoulders. Great job!

Gorgeous! The keyhole opening in the back is my favorite part.

you are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing all your gorgeous looks! Even though I am a silent reader, I check your blog regularly and it never disappoints! Great stuff. Greetings grom Germany!

This dress and look is so fresh and elegant! It's a treat to see your interpretations of designer styles and patterns, and how you style and accessorize them.

Thank you!

Stunning. Love the back. Business at the front, party at the back as they say.

You look stunning in that yellow dress and your makeup is also on point. Great job!

Absolutely fabulous! Great use of two of this season's hot looks, lace and yellow. ...and I'm sure the Mellow Yellow tune is going to stick in my head for at least a week...

You look STUNNING! Absolutely beautiful dress. That pattern was made for you. :)

Love the dress and how you incorporated your own changes into it!

Thanks Carolyn!

Stunning! Yellow is so your color.

Thanks Bunny!

One of my best ever combos; pink and yellow. That dress is so beautiful. Love the lace pattern.

Stunning dress. I love the sweetheart neckline on the lining and the keyhole. You look fabulous.

Knocked it out of the park, Erica!

Erica,

This is stunning! I'm buying the pattern now...but wondering is the outer layer one solid piece from neck to hem or is there a seam at top of the bust? Yours looks smooth but the pattern looks like it will be two pieces....would love to know.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Katie,

Yes, there is a seam at the sweetheart neckline. Thanks!

Your "copy" is actually better, as is usually the case! Not sure about that yellow being any type of "mellow," though. LOL

Thanks Mary!

This is gorgeous! You are a huge inspiration to me. I've been reading for some time but never commented. I soak up your posts, though! I have some dark green lace (I don't think I can get away with yellow as beautifully as you can! lol!)and McCall's patterns are on sale right now for $1 at Joann's. Guess what I'm doing this week! :-) Love your style and blog!

Thanks Mariah!

Super cute!

Very pretty!

Ok, you inspired me to write! That dress is just too cute!

"Maybe you really just need a good enough reason and the inspiration to forget about the heat and embrace summer in all it's sun-filled glory? Look no further than Erica's D.I.Y. Style blog. Her summer yellow dress is just eye-poppingly gorgeous, I kid you not." http://birminghamfashionblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/feeling-little-blog-love-tonight.html

This is beautiful, Erica. With the keyhole back and lace, I was wondering if you sewed in your "foundation garment" on the top, as you did on an earlier dress this summer.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Fabulous dress.

You look absolutely fabulous..

Great dress on you, Erica! I never noticed that pattern before - will have to add it to my collection.

Very pretty, Erica. Lovely color and I love the keyhole detail in the back.

What a beautiful dress! I really like the neckline, it is different enough to make it unique. I will have to pick up this pattern.

Beautiful! Like a ray of sunshine!

I love the added keyhole detail on the back of the dress. Very elegant! I can't wait to meet you at the Belk event!

What the heck! How did I miss seeing you in this. I am all about yellow this summer and don't have anything. You look gorgeous!

The dress, the colors....wow. Great job! You look fantastic

Really cute dress, Erica. I've too have been eyeing this fabric. Great project for it.
