Pretty straight forward pattern. Dress is indeed fitting. I suggest measuring the back panel piece against a current pre existing fitted dress to give you an idea of how big/small it would finally turn out to be. Pattern pieces no 8 & 9 were a waste of my fabric because they were never used.

Your dress is lovely. I like your fabric choice. Its great to see the first self sewn version of the dress. I’m thinking about making it too :)

Thank Ü! I am 165 cm tall, so dress is indeed a bit short. I have no idea how to lengthen the pattern though.. It would be great if material is of some stretch.

what a nice dress that fits you really great. I want to try this pattern too, but I am not sure how to change it for normal size ( i am 168 cm tall), with all those pleats in the waist. But your is looking great. :)
