You Dare Devils, You!

I don't know why I should be surprised since you guys are the best in the whole world, but the response to our Dare To Design contest was simply stupendous!

So much so that our diligent judges are still going through all of your stunning designs to choose our 15 finalists. Can you hang with us a little bit longer? The results will be up soon.

In the meantime, pat yourselves on the back for being so great.

And keep checking back here. If our judges are to be believed (and they are, of course), there is a whole lot of awesomeness headed this way.

I'm going CRAZY. I guess I'll go do some more chores and try and not think about the dresses. I feel like a kid at Christmas!!!

Oy. Keep us on the edge of our chairs then!
I was wondering how you guys would pick so fast, because I sure couldn't decide- even just out of the ones I saw, and I'm sure there are more! Good luck with that...
I'm excited.
(nobody go crazy now!)

I'm so excited!! I, too have been checking back WAY more than I should. My heart is all a flutter! With all of the stiff competition I'm getting so, so nervous. Oh, Oh, Oh, please I hope I make the top 15. Oh please. I also hope my friend Mo makes the top 15, too.

The idea was a good one, I have to admit! Should get people talking about your site and your cute dresses. I am so happy that the retro thing is still hot. I hope it sticks around. Anyone seen The Andy Griffith Show lately? How about I Love Lucy? SHE wears a dress every day!

I just wanted to take the time to say good luck to everyone. Everyone did a great job! I pray I'm part of the top 15 but if I'm not I'm happy that the designs out there are so good. It would suck if everyone just threw something together not caring lol. With that said keep your fingers crossed ladies cause i sure am!!:)

I vote for #4! #9 is a runner up...those are the two I would buy. #7 maybe too. The others that have ruffles & the ornamentation - how many more seasons are they going to last?

I vote for #15.
