Here is my first sewing project: the Azalea dress! I used a mauve lyocell knit for the main color and a sheer grey polyester for the top layer. I made some loopy things for the shoulder to cover some mistakes. I also changed the back yoke to give more coverage and feel more casual.

I haven’t attempted a first dress yet, but I am sure no first dress of mine would look this good!

It’s absolutely beautiful, from the close up picture it looks like you did a great job! Maybe you could post a full shot of the front though. I really love this pattern and after seeing your creation I want one too.
