Your 48 darts are so pretty and your stamina paid off! I am so glad you posted this. I have a tendency to ditch stamina and the pattern.

Don't you just love EOS silk jersey?! It's my fave. Your dress is just lovely. I might get this and make the top.

I have the pattern but am put off by all the darts - bravo to you for sticking with it and using a very slippery fabric - really two - and ending up with such a lovely dress! Am still thinking of making the top but will have to get my courage up for those darn darts

I have this pattern and never even noticed the darts. Maybe one day I'll tackle it. Your version looks great.
