Thank you. It ws quite some work it really but worked out.
I have bought 2.5 m of fabric, but have some little left overs. Cotton lace, 1,1m is enough to finish the bottom. Zipper is 40cm long.
The main shape of the dress was adapted from 2406 Misses’ Dresses. Cynthia Rowley Collection by Simplicity, Dress C. And for that pattern it is recomended to use 2.5m of fabric, for my height (173cm).
I hope you find these details helpful :)

I am loving your dress, the knots are a great detail and the lines of this design are interesting while still being flattering! Great job!
