DID THIS TRICKY FABRIC GET THE BETTER OF ME? A Sewing Collab with @sewsarahstyle

[@callitags]

Gorgeous fabric, and you've turned it into such an impressive, show-stopper dress. The pattern placement is fantastic, particularly on the skirt, and it really highlights the art of that fabric.

Stunning dress, pattern and the fit at your waist is perfect. You’ll knock ‘em dead when you go to the Captains dinner 😊

The instructions aren’t great and be aware that the back waist panel says cut 1 but I cut 2 as it wouldn’t work otherwise for me xxx
