The dress (Advance, 6922) came together a lot easier this time. I think I got a much better fit on the bodice, and I definitely got a better fit in the back.
(Better fitting back. I especially like the way the zipper ends right at the V. It didn't, in my muslin.)
This dress reminds me of stuff you find in the J. Crew catalog or something. And I think, despite being a vintage pattern, this dress doesn't feel a tiny little bit costumey. It just feels like a nice, pretty, summer dress.
The eyelet holes made me wonder if I wanted to line this dress, but I held off, and I'm glad. Right now, it feels light and airy, and lining might have killed that feeling.

Really lovely dress. Don't feel bad about not finishing your mini wardrobe entry, one contest at a time is enough!
You look gorgeous in that gorgeous dress!
this is so very pretty! I can't get over it. Don't worry about the mini-wardrobe. This is an accomplishment in itself.
Reethi, it's gorgeous and you look beautiful! Don't worry about the contest - you gave it your best shot and in the end you still have some nice new wardrobe pieces.
