The only alteration I did was a sort of small bust adjustment. I didn't take any photos, but the back neck is a slightly high, extended collar type thing. It's cut with the front pieces (if you've looked at or made this pattern, you'll know what I'm talking about). Anyway, I just cut the back neck edges on a diagonal so the side attaching to the back piece is as drafted, but the other end is about 2 inches shorter.
The only thing I'm not super crazy about is I don't think it's the most flattering dress on me. I like it a lot, but I don't love it quite as much as I love the one on the pattern envelope. I just think it makes me look so straight and un-curvy. Maybe it's just my post-babies body rudely looking back at me.
If I had a cool pin, I'd definitley wear it like on the black dress in the envelope photo.
Whoa! What is with the back fat?? I wouldn't even begin to know how to fix that! I think it's just the combination of very drapey fabric and the cut-on short-ish sleeves. What do you think?

Hi Jenny, Both you and the dress are lovely. Very pretty choice of color, too. Lois in Cincinnati
Great job!!
I really like the dress, and the color is great! I wouldn't worry about the back folds (no fat I can see anywhere); considering the very drapey fabric I think it couldn't turn out better!
What a great dress. It fits you beautifully and a great color for Easter.
