I made mine in the s/m size, I made it up first in old sheets to make sure the size was good, however when I made it up in the voile with the zip, I realised I need to take in about a centimetre of so off each side of the bodice. I didnt realise this until had gone to far, so popped a little elastic in the back on the inside of the lining and it worked a treat!! I found this happened to someone else too, reading their blog.
Definitely can't wait to make it again though, I am going to try her Tunic soon too.
And here's a sneak peek of my skirt in the yellow version of the above fabric, still have the zip and lining to go.
I have had a challenge of a week, battling the computer, trying to get Flickr up and going and understanding how it all works etc, does my head in. Nothing ever seems straightforward when it comes to computers!!!
But I am getting there, and I have posted my second post in no longer than a week, so getting there.
Off to enjoy the sunshine with Gemma now, and maybe sneak a little sewing in later on.. Enjoy some other creative space's over at Kirsty's.

Your dress looks fab!
I have considered that pattern quite a few times but never bought it because the picture on the front doesn't appeal to me. After seeing your gorgeous version I am tempted and inspired.
Have a great afternoon and have fun wearing it.
Oooh, terribly productive! Very pretty too - that's a plus... love the red!
The dress looks great. It would be flattering on any figure (although I'm sure my tuckshop arms would be popped under a little knit!!).
I really like your blog. I like the way you've described your life and family with such enthusiasm in your profile. I'm following! x
I adore that voile.
Looks gorgeous on you!!
Gorgeous, gorgeous dress. And can I say just how much I love your Union Jack quilt? It's AWESOME!
Looks lovely!
