Pattern comments or alterations
I have now made two other dresses in this pattern my first review was the pattern in full no changes or alterations and it turned out great. The second review contained a couple of minor changes, taking off the back slit which I prefer because its much easier to sew or is quicker and fits just a nice.

Size
I made a size 12 in this pattern giving the bottom half of the dress about 1cm extra.

Conclusions
I have now made this dress out of two Australian Flags which were polyester material but I wanted to show how versatile this pattern really is. It works so well with a number of different fabrics and I really love the shape and design of it. Its a really comfortable dress pattern and perfect for a number of occasions dressed with the right fabric. In this case Australia Day hehe.

I think this would have to be one of my favourite summer dresses now and so glad I found this pattern in time this year. Now looking to make a couple of other Vogue dresses and hopefully be just as impressed.

To see more photos of this Australia Day dress please visit my blog.

Westy85 - I love your Australian Flag dress and face paint. Just as well you wore it to work, you wouldn't have been able to go out in it today!
