I made this dress using Celeste pattern. It’s the first thing i do with a real pattern, so i think it turned out quite fine. I’m not so please with the color though.

Thanks guys! I’m glad you like it!. The diamond shape is not that that hard once you understand the pattern. I, however, started following the instructions without even knowing what i was doing. I think I’ll try some jewerly on the diamond.

I think you did a nice job with a difficult pattern. You could add some fun jewelry and bold shoes to make it more fun.

Great job! I like the colour; it could be bettered with adding some beads or so to the diamond, then it wouldn’t seem so plain (if it does to you) and it would be just perfect. But I’m quite afraid of using this pattern, you’re brave choosing it as the first one!
