I love this dress. Besides being a major sewing accomplishment (pattern
regrading, full bust adjustment, hand picked zipper!) I love wearing
it. It's such a girly silhouette and in this gingham, cutely preppy.
With a sweater over it, I look like I'm ready for a summer clambake. I
haven't gone to a clambake yet in this dress (not really the crowd I run
with) but it has been to work a few times and a wedding rehearsal.

| Back. The back arguably shows a lot of back for work, but a sweater solves the too-much-skin issue. |

| If Lee had his way, I would style the sleeves like this every time I wear this dress. |
Cute! I think this was worth working through the struggle to get it finished. :-) Love the last picture, LOL!
