I didn't get a picture of it yet, but my zipper is a rainbow colored riri zipper which I found at Pacific Trim! You can't see it, but I love knowing it's there, and having a metal zipper makes it feel like a real vintage dress. The dress is unlined, so I'll wear it with a slip, and has a neckline facing. The very tip of the point where the bodice and skirt meet was sewn by hand. I got chicken about sewing that intersection on a machine.
This is the first non-muslin dress I've sewn in several months. I forgot what a nice feeling it is to end up with a garment you can wear. Between the light voile and the looser fit, this will be fantastic for the next 90F heatwave we get.

Great summer dress! I keep hearing good things about this voile!
I like your dress too! The color and fit are fantastic.
Love that pattern, and how the gathering is all at the sides....
Turned out fantastic! Can't wait to see what you turn out next. g
Now that´s a pretty dress! I love how the lower front is flat and all the volume is at the side. And that band at the hem is cute. Nice job!

It looks great! So is it still in the running for "the dress" in white satin?
