Gorgeous dress. Though I've seen that dress made a great many times before, yours is the 1st that gives me the desire to make one for me.

What a fabulous dress! Good call to use the matte side of the fabric--it looks fantastic, and what a lovely color. Thanks for all the helpful tips in your very informative review.
