Burdastyles Vintage Dress pattern which i made up in a poly crepe for a wedding.

Really lovely. When I first saw the pattern in the mag I thought it was really fussy with the bows and drape and all, but you’ve made it look very good!

It’s indeed a great retro pattern. Your version is beautiful and so romantic! I like the old rose color you chose.
