breathtaking, did you ever make the silk version? Gallant effort for your first dress, the colour is divine ;-))

There is a lesson here! No zipper, no hem, fabric content unknown…and the most amazing dress! I think your “less is more” attitude is the way to go. A beautiful fashion photo!

This is really nice. Do you have any pictures of the back? I’d love to see how it looks.

WoW! You look stunning, and the dress looks really expensive. It’s a shame I’m too old for a look like that. You are gonna turn some heads when in that one girl :-)

Is your chosen fabric a knit or woven? If its a knit, gently press up your hem allowance. You may or may not want to interface the hem using a stretch interfacing, fusible. You can either finish the hem allowance by using a twin needle topstitch, no need to finish the edge of the pressed up hem. Or, secondly, a blind hemmer, with tension adjusted, can do an admirable job on finishing that hem.

Gorgeous! I LOVE the pleating at the neckline. That is a great way to pull in the fullness from the bust. I might just try that on my next project. Thanks!
