Also, when I distribute the gathers in my skirts, I try to have the fullness slightly more concentrated in the back. Hope that helps!

Oooh a red or even black would be nice, I'll keep that in mind for the future.

To answer your questions, while I can't really roll the sleeves, I can push them past my elbows to keep cool and for work. I did not have help with the fitting, and there are a few minor things I'd change next time...so I'm glad that you think it looks good. I purposely made it front-opening so I could easily pin the darts and get dressed by myself!

The dress will come together and the results are splendid! With your dress,a solid red or the darker background would have worked. Job very well done!!!

I'm also really impressed by your watercolor. You even went through the trouble of painting the stripes! It's amazing that the dress turned out just like the painting.
