Fabric- I decided to make my version with a crinkle satin polyester in a burgundy colour. Incredibly slippy but a very pretty colour.
What else will you need- The dress needs a invisible zip and a little bit on interfacing for the facings.
A Little Tip- If you need step by step instructions on how to insert underarm reinforcement squares, I found a useful tutorial on Handmade Jane's Blog. This post explain the processes a lot better than the pattern, with lots of useful pictures.
Shape and fit- There quite a lot of fabric in the bodice and I would probably take it in a little bit more if I was to make the dress again.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the dress. It has a lovely drape to it and a great new addition to my wardrobe.
