This dress has been made a few times, but I think this is the first one I have seen with a working zip. I really like it - great job!

Great dress, Kay! I love the zipper and the seaming. The red one should be fun to wear too.

Stunning dress -- I like how you handled the zipper, and the subtlety of the single color (the red too).

That zipper...along with the rest of your dress...is perfection, Kay!! Great tip on using the fusible as a facing at the neck. Is that a new technique of yours or is it a standard one you apply.? It's really wonderful.

Fabulous looking dress, love the zipper at the back and the facing from fusible interfacing is such a clever solution to reduce bulk. Thanks for a great review.

Gorgeous dress, I love the zipper detail.

This is such a beautiful and original dress Kay. The back zipper is perfect and I agree on not showing the zip tape. My only question is it comfortable when you sit down ?

WOW! This dress is a total knockout. Your dress looks nothing like the pattern photo. It is 1000 times better. So chic and stylish. I want it!

WOW! Sensational dress with exceptional fit and love the zipper. I especially like it in red as it really highlights the details of the seams. Gorgeous!
