Bridget Conlogue –
This dress was very easy to put together, and has more detailed instructions than the earlier patterns. I made this dress for a young friend for her prom, and we were somewhat disappointed with the results. The skirt is very tightly gathered, and all that fullness falls right at the hipbone, adding rather unattractive girth to a very normal figure. If I made this dress again, I would probably choose a very soft, drapey fabric for the bodice, take out a skirt panel or two, and perhaps raise the waistline about an inch. It probably didn’t help matters that we chose a chiffon for the skirt, and therefore had to line it, adding bulk.
