I'm a big dress fan and yours is great! I love the fabric too - definitely not grandma-ish. you look lovely.

Utterly gorgeous. I can't see any Aunt Ethel in the fabric, I love it. Re the back neck facing, I am almost entirely converted to a nice piece of bias binding covering the seam, I find back facings horrible to sew too.

It must be something in the air up there. I can't believe how fast you whip these things up. Great dress, definitely NOT aunt Ethel's style at all. And who CAN resist a baby blue invisible zipper? Probably not me.

More like my hot stylish Aunt Margo who was a lounge singer :-). Wonderful, simple, flattering dress!
