Your choice of fabric looks good in the picture. I really like the black seam binding too. I think it gives the dress a really nice touch.

Thanks for showing this dress made up in a larger size. Yours, while pretty, does not look like the pattern picture. I have read LH's patterns are more suited to a small boned, slim figure. Your dress is attractive though.

The dress looks goodi n the picture, I see what you mean about the waist. I think the fabric looks fine too.

The dress looks very nice (I love blue!), but I cannot believe you didn't make the bodice shorter than the pattern intended. Your dress looks like an empire and the pattern picture shows maybe just a tiny bit below the waist? I'm asking because I would look good in the below the waist (I'm short-waisted and try to fool the eye) but an empire would not be as good for me.

the waistline doesn't surprise me much - it seems that many (most?) times larger patterns don't compensate for increased bust depth. Being a "F/G" cup I find that problem in RTW as well as in a lot of patterns - which is why I tend more toward sheath type dresses myself - no obvious waistline! Very pretty fabric and dress.

This dress is beautiful! (Looks better on you than the dress form). I can understand if you don't like where the waist seam hits but I think the fabric is great and the nylon accents are inspired!

Thanks for all the encouraging words everyone!

I guess it's just me, but I like your version better than the pattern photo. The fabric is lovely and very flattering, I'm sure. It has so much more style than so much that is available for the full figure these days. Wear it with pride.
