The pattern once again.

The whole dress.

Close up of the bodice.

The bodice is fully lined as the pattern called for. The skirt did not call for lining, as is rather see through, as i used a very light weight cotton(the pattern called for Corduroy's, Denim's and Linen's) so i will need to either buy a slip or add lining.  

 Close up of the belt loops.

I need to get a nice white belt. An op shop tip might be needed.

 The back of the dress.

 

Me in the dress.

 

Now that my sewing room is almost set up i can't wait for the next challenge!
