lovely! I love the fabric and it fits you perfectly and is very flattering. Did you add lining in addition to the underlining?

thanks so much!! i’ve really enjoyed wearing this dress and i’m super happy with the fit, glad it shows!
instead of lining the dress, i used facings at the neckline and armholes to get a good clean edge. i did add a lining on the midriff to cover the seams though!
