Welcome, and thanks for a great plus-size review. It looks a little dumpy in the pattern photo - glad to know it's so flattering. Would love to see the velvet version!

Lovely job! I too love Loes's patterns but recently made this dress and binned it straight away!!!! I was sooooooo disappointed. The fit was overall too tight even after comparing measurements etc. Should have done a FBA but in tissue fitting it appeared to be OK. All in all I looked so frumpy in it. I'm glad it worked for you and all the other reviewers on PR, but it was a real flop for me.
