An Update On The Dress

I'm moving right along on my dress, so I thought I would share a couple of pictures. 
As it always goes, I end up making changes once I start the actual project. I had added a little fold over piece under the bust, but now that I have the dress together, I've decided to not add it.
Remember, there will be a black bustier under the dress, so I will not be making a "statement" here!!!
All in all, I'm super happy with the dress. I've had it on about 5 times this morning and I like it more each time I try it on.
I'll try to come back tomorrow with another update.

    Rhonda,
    I really like this dress. Such a nicely balanced design. Asymmetry is so interesting when you have a great idea.

    I should have read all the comments before I made mine. Didn't mean to sound like a copycat, but great minds think alike, hopefully. Anyway, I love the dress and I know you will be totally the Bell of the Ball. I hope to get to see it in person sometime.
