I agree with eveyone, it’s a beautiful dress, I love it with the low belt and the neck line is the perfect shape. I think I’ll check this book out :)

Thanks for your comment! I totaly recommend you this book. There’s a lot of beautiful dresses or tunic. For the size don’t worry, japanese sewing book size large and these pattern can easily be modified to fit perfectly. For the modifications, I added the flounce and cut a lot out of the sides (hope I am clear) to fit better… Hope it will help you!

It looks beautiful and very feminine. I especially love “square” neckline.
