Sally Norton –
I made the version with the short, full sleeves in a light silk for summer. The actual sewing of this dress is easy. It goes together beautifully and the result is wonderful. However, getting to the point where you will sew all the pieces together takes considerable time. You must make a muslin. All the pieces are different diagonal shapes. You cannot make any guesses on fitting. You have to make a muslin and then start making adjustments. I added ties inside at the waist on the right side and I added snaps to the wrap cross-over front. I also attached the wrap waistband to the side with a snap and added a satin rosette on top. The dress is so beautiful I’m now curious to see how the long-sleeve version would make up in a light wool for fall.
