I made no alterations to the pattern, just cut and sewed. The pockets would have looked cute...maybe some other time.

Notice the flowers in the background? Pretty nice for Minnesota. Wish it was Hawaii!

I really like this dress, the picture is not that great. The pattern calls for lining and if you make the dress use lightweight lining. The dress has a lot of fabric and it's heavy. I'm lucky that I found matching fabric, because it was way too short even though I had lengthened it. The other version on the pattern looks cute too.

This dress was easy to whip up. I used white knit underling for the dress and left the hem raw because I needed the length and I saw a skirt made of the same material in the store sans hem.
