I thought you might like to see a pic of the dress I made my daughter, for her graduation. She chose the pattern and I made it in navy lace with a heave crepe back satin skirt and a nude bodice underlay.
She's a dream to fit, petite but perfectly proportioned.
This is Vogue 1428, which is described as challenging, but was in fact pretty straightforward to sew.
