I like the design effect of the front bodice seam. Lovely dress and you look fabulous in it.

Thanks, everyone! I hope to try my hand at more ambitious projects; but it is a great feeling to be able to put together something so satisfying in a short time. @prostheticsgirl: I have seen vendors on Etsy and eBay selling African wax print fabrics, so you could start there. Africantextiles.nl and africanfabrics.co.uk also have some stock, but it shouldn't be hard to find. The hard part is choosing - there are so many designs it can get dizzying! Many claim the best ones are made in the Netherlands, and they can be purchased directly from the manufacturer at www.vlisco.com.

I love it! A wonderful site to find beautiful African fabrics is: http://www.anansevillage.com . I have ordered from them and the fabric was great and service was excellent!

What a happy dress! The style and fabric are both beautiful. I agree with you that a bare back is much more alluring than a low cut bodice. I hope you're enjpying Milan.

This is just beautiful ! The bold print & how you placed it really works well here & has inspired me to try one of them.

Wow, this is one fabulous dress!!! Great job, it fits you perfectly! And I love how the prints line up in a wave on the bodice front!!!
