<p>I just got into this show, and watched all the episodes in a row. Anyone else see Marnie's dress in the second to last episode? They are standing in the apartment, Hannah is talking about one of her essay's, and Marnie doesn't like that essay. It is a sheath dress, with a belt, and such a weird neckline! Like it was pressed all wrong on purpose. How? Where? I loved it. Also, the season finale dress Marnie wears, with the twist in the front... I love it! Not the fabric, but the twist, and the…</p>

Amazing. How would one make one of those?</p> I want to "make this look" but I can't figure it outtag:circle.sewweekly.com,2012-01-23:6365347:Topic:1235462012-01-23T22:10:10.442ZLisa Poldermanhttp://circle.sewweekly.com/profile/LisaPolderman
<p>Hi All - I'm new to Sew Weekly and I have loved looking through folks' photos and all the "make this look" posts. There's a skirt that I'd really love to make but I can't figure it out, and I thought some of you more experienced sewists might know how.

<p>(I couldn't figure out how to get the image here. It's also on my pinterest board here: <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/278941770639960154/">http://pinterest.com/pin/278941770639960154/</a>)</p>

<p>I plan to make the skirt in denim, just like the orginal. Here's what I can't figure out:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) It looks like the "corset" seaming is a flat-felled seam. It may be that the darts were used to create this, but I'm not sure how the dart was squared off to create this look.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2) It looks like the skirt is a 5-panel skirt (1 front, 2 sides, 2 backs) and I'm not sure how to draft this. I know how to make s skirt block and I've drafted pencil skirts before. I know that you can create panels using the dart lines, but I'm not sure how to do this around the sides (no traditional side seam). </p>

<p>This Vogue pattern looks pretty close if I do away with the waistband: <a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8697-products-13221.php?page_id=263">http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8697-products-13221.php?page_id=263</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let me know if you have any ideas about this - I could sure use some help!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone has done a Make This Look yet? I finally got around to making the Lemonade at Lunch dress... and I love it! My husband proclaimed it 'his favorite' of the things I've made so far. It was fun making the dress with my own little variation, but going for the same 'feel.' I'm definitely interested in making a few more. Next on my list is the <a href="http://www.sewweekly.com/2011/07/mtl-day-after-day-dress.html" target="_blank">Day After Day…</a></p>
