Beautiful. Georgous fit. My eyes hurt just looking at it though. Did it make you go cross-eyed sewing it? The vertical trims would be nice, but not desperately needed. Lovely work ;)

Yes, it felt like i was seeing double ))))))) It is a very busy pattern, true- but I still love this dress ( maybe because i am wearing it and not looking at it LOL)

Thank you- so do I, although I have some concerns about how wide this print makes me look from the front. Thinking of a doing Take 4 and adding vertical trims (I still have some of that the middle detail is made of.
