Wow, that is absolutely lovely! I have a very similar fabric that I bought in the Caribbean last year. Now I can't wait to make it up!

Wonderful dress. I really like your placement of the circles above the bust.

Love the fabric design. I love what you did with the placement of the motif on your bust. Very cute!

Gorgeous fabric, and you used the pattern well placement wise. Very nicely done. Thanks!

Thanks for all the lovely comments. I really thought a lot about the placement of the circles, It seemed like it would be too easy to put them in a bad place (eg with the circles right on the bust). By the way, to trace the dress I used swedish tracing paper and pinned it on over the dress, pinned the darts and tried the whole thing on. Then once I was happy with it I traced and cut the STP. After cutting my fabric I basted all the seams and darts and tried it on and only had to make one change, the CB seam had to much fabric.

Oh my, I can see how poor placement of those circles could've been, well...um...bullseye-like? Well thought out! Beautiful fabric and dress! Thanks for the inspiration to copy RTW!

Really nice fit. Good job on copying your ready to wear.

Fantastic job. I'm curious...Do you have a zipper in the front seam? If not why did you have a seam in the center front? I love that fabric tho and the fit is fantastic! Grat Job!!!

There is no zipper in the front. But the centre front seam means that the skirt can be a little fuller. There is actually a slit up the centre front although because my dress 'ended up' shorter than the one I was copying, I could have omitted it altogether.
