Butterick 5678 Given a Cinderella Transformation

After all the work and preparation, the zoo ball is over and becoming a memory.
The pattern that started out as a shirt, became a little more stylized, 
and finally became a gown.
The pictures aren't the best, 
but at least you can see how the gown looked on me.

I have a question for all of you. Would you like a step by step process of how I did the dress? I would be happy to show you if there is enough response. Just leave a comment and let me know.
Happy weekend everyone!

    Rhonda,
    I would love a technical article about the construction of the gown. You are a fantastic sewer and I am always trying to improve my skills. You looked stunning in the gown, the photos are fine.

    It fits so beautifully! Absolutely gorgeous. I (unfortunately) would never wear a dress like that however it would also make a great top. Any of your drafting is interesting to see. Would also like to know if you have any fitting tips to share.
