this fabric is really beautiful. It just screams that it's from Europe. really couture floral print. I think the dress is the perfect canvas for the bold print. Lovely work.

Beautiful dress! I probably would not have noticed that this pattern has a back pleat, but I can understand how that would not be flattering! I like your darts a lot better.

First of all, your fabric is gorgeous. Secondly, I think your design changes improved your dress' style! Great job on every detail. Fabulous dress!

Good save! A dress with many options, but without yours it would be a wadder for many of us!

Amazed by your strength of character!! I totally would have given up after the first or second try :). Thanks for the info - I am working on this one right now in the military style and think I am going to take the back pleat out for sure. I wonder if it would work to just make a simple flat back of the dress with no pleats or gathers?
