    Beautiful! I like it much more in that fabric! Couldn’t you post a picture of the back of the dress, too? Would be very interesting to see that!

    Your dress looks great in that fabric. :)

    Mods: smaller armholes, shorter side slits, one size smaller than supplied.

    There were one or two comments on the original pattern page from people who didn’t like that the back neckline doesn’t sit flat due to the ruching. I agree it doesn’t sit flat, but for me this is a feature rather than a problem.
