I just finished sewing this lovely dress yesterday but am yet to wear it. Now this pattern has been fraught with bad reviews all over blogland, but I found it a dream to sew. I did make a few minor alterations for my shape (listed below). I just love how the side panels are cut on the bias, adding shape and character. Next up, a dramatic navy & white stripe version!
