That looks great, and I quite like the D&G one, but I think it's a little too "busy".

After wearing the dress a few times, I thought something was missing. So,.... I ‘chaneled’ it with vintage Chanel buttons and a black/white/grey/silver boucle remnant. I also added a tie belt (only to be loosely tied at the back) to reduce the fullness around the waist. As a result, I like it a LOT more  :D

Amazing @Manuela. Another beautiful creation. You must have a large wardrobe for all your gorgeous dresses. You’re going to need a large trunk when you do finally head off to your new life!   :D

Let’s just say you won’t hear the statement ‘I got nothing to wear’ from me @Sheilago  ;)
