What do you think about the overal look of the dress?
Bcoz this dress is a gift for myself for christmas, so I work with special care and attention to the details...

I've been eyeing this pattern for some time. Waiting for the right ocassion to work with it.
Let see the alterations I made on the original pattern.
- I chose size 36 Burdastyle magazine, even that it turn out bigger than I expected!
- I reduce slightly the bodice side seam, make it tighter.
- The sleeves are too wide and too long.
and,... some obstacles along the way are ...
- I couldn't find the right zipper. I installed the zipper bought in Chinese shop and break as soon as I pull it. I replace with the one made in Japan.
- I couldn't find the matching belt to go with it, coz without... the dress is look rather plain.
- Wrong material
Went to a Christmas lunch with the dress. I dropped some wine on the dress, I think will leave a spot... don't know what to doooooo
