Great! Love your dress. I guess you added "fluff" to the top of the dress as well as another bottom piece? Very ambitious..but excellent results. I didn't see the "pleats" you were talking about...what am I missing?

You did a fantastic job! The belt is a great detail. I think yours fits much better (and looks better too)!!

Très, très joli ! I am fond of that green - a colour that does not suit me well, unfortunately, so I like to admire it on others !

absolutely stunning. I love what you did with the bodice and skirt. It fits you beautifully too.

Thank you very much for your comments, but please do yours, I would be very pleased that someone make the same dress !

So you should be proud - it is great! Well done!

I added a short picture because Soliel asked me about the "pleats" she didn't see; I am french so I don't know the good translation for "pli", maybe it is not pleats but folds ... Tell me, I would love to improve my english ! I didnt' make the "pli" very straight because I didn't want them to be too regular !

Such a pretty dress! Well done.

Congrats on your dress; you should be thrilled. Nice style (& I like it better in your green than her skin-tone dress). Speaking of your green, your dress certainly shows all that hard work better than the black pattern picture.

You did an awesome job in recreating a designer dress and making it your very own! Great job!! :)

English is my native language and I'm not sure if they're pleats or folds either! Either way, they look great and so does the rest of the dress!

So pretty! I love the style and color.

Wonderful! And you are an intermediate sewer? And you successfully lengthened the midsection to make a bustier top? I would call you advanced now...beautiful job. Strapless garments are tough, combining two patterns is tough, silk is tough and you made a magnificent piece out of all of that. The color is grand on you as well. I am sorry I didn't see this before. By the way, I suspect you mean "gathers" rather than "pleats". Pleats are regular rather geometric folds in fabric (like the pleats in a Scotsman's kilt). Gathers are soft bunchings of the fabric usually done by running long basting stitches and then pulling the threads until the fabric has compresses and stands out a bit from the seam, like puffed sleeves. Similar words in meaning but...you know sewing and you know English both difficult and you do so well with both!

C'est magnifique - hope that's correct French - this is really beautiful and you did a wonderfull job.

You did a wonderful job on blending two patterns together to get the look you wanted, and the dress fits you very well! The funny thing is that I own a vintage Vogue Givenchy pattern from the 80s that is very much like what you have made! :)

Very pretty. What a beautiful color!

That's so pretty! It has a touch of vintage with color and skirt. Great job.
