looks great and you made it fit nicely. I like that idea about adapting into a skirt, clever.

Looks great! Thanks so much for sharing how you reduced the bodice - I've been wanting to make this dress but I was also worried about the hugeness of the top!

Yes, when Vogue says "very loose fitting" they mean it. You were smart to downsize and the result is a beautiful dress. None of the other reviews were favorable. Congratulations!
