I changed yoke a bit so that the skirt start from the bust point. The skirt part of the original Azalea starts above bust point. I made it as puff/ballon skirt to add fun.
I bought a silk/cotton throw from West Elm and used it for the skirt part. Flower is made of cotton organza.

your dress looks amazing! how did you lengthen the yoke? did you keep the curve at the the bottom, or did you cut it straight?

yeah the dress looks alot better with the skirt starting from the bust point-good judgement! really cute colour palette as well, and the flower is a great accessory.
