Vintage pattern re-style

Hiya my dress today was made from scratch using thrifted fabric ($2 for about 4m!) and a vintage pattern:
 (no idea why my photo is loading sideways?!)
I made the dress to the pattern then decided the collar wasn't working with the floaty fabric I used...so I unpicked the front facing & trimmed the neckline. Then added a strip of fabric to finish the front edge.



I'm really happy with the end result :)

    That fabric is wonderful. I'd love to find some. And you're right about the collar. Sometimes there is more than one way to skin a cat.

    I love that you ended up with one big flower centered right in the middle of your back. Gorgeous!
