This one took a while. I've come to the conclusion that I don't love making dresses. This one is a good cut and has two little pockets in the front. The fabric is a very lightweight wool with lycra, I think if I make this again I'll use something with a little more drape. It fits very well; I'm a little fuller in the hips than the mannequin and you don't see that wrinkle on me. I used an invisible zipper instead of a regular one and am pleased with that as well, although it added a lot more hand sewing to the project. I made this to go under the grey jacket that I posted first and they look very well together.
