It's such a pretty dress, and you look nice in it! I love the lining too.

I agree with MiGo, this is a very pretty dress. I like using invisible zippers also, will not put any other kind of zipper in. They make everything mor professional looking.

I love the color, it looks good on you. Nicer dress than Cache

How cute is that?!? I am inspired by your lining and I almost got this pattern the other day on Joann's .99 Butterick sale. Sigh ... maybe I should go back ...

Aren't invisible zippers the best? Love the lining.

Oh GOODIE, I got this one last week!!! Very cute! And I love the lining, too...a little something just for you! Re the midriff, I think it looks great, but if you don't like it I wonder if it would help if it was a little tighter? I made a similar dress (Simplicity? I forgot) that has the rouching and that panel was pretty tight against the underlining. I wonder if there's a difference here. The gathers stay put very well and are slimming on the Simplicity. Perhaps the fact that I did a knit made a difference also? Anyway, GREAT dress, and very helpful review! Thanks!!

Great background for your picture. Great lining, good summer dress. I think the red dress looks a bit better, with the tighter midriff section, than the blue one.

I love the colour and style and it looks great on you. I think you have done a fabulous job with this dress... Great idea to take the fullness out of the middle section... I too have made a dress not unsimilar and not worn it due to the added bulk in the midriff, so I am thinking I will do as you have done.

Wow, what a difference! I love your dress. Good for you for having the stick-to-it-iveness to modify and come up with a winner. :o)
