Description
This was my first adult dress. Learned a lot! It was way too big in the chest at first, so I added some seams in the back to pull it in. It slides down a little when I wear it, so I might add in some elastic to the top (or straps). Also still considering adding the pockets and perhaps some turquoise colored trim. But I’ll wear it a few times first.
Material Notes
it was from the "bottom weight" section

It’s a thick fabric plus I fitted it fairly tight with trying it on and taking it in a few times. Thanks for the nice words!

Really beautiful, I didnt’; know sabrina dress could look so well!
How did you make the bust firm enough to avoid slipping down?
