Notas I love this dress but it required a special bra ( see last photo) I throughly recommend it for a small busted woman but I don't think I would sew it again for me!

I sewed it in a de-lustered satin, black with a tiny dot that is half white/half nude pink.
I self lined the bodice and waist panels.
I added interfacing to the bodice edge and back neck.
I interfaced the waist panels.
I used elastic roulette and added a placket to the skirt front.

Edited 2024

I wanted to BURN this dress after disastrous family photos. (Photographer cut me off at my bust and I looked eleventy months pregnant) due to the lovely silk satin my daughter took the dress and modified it with more buttons. She regularly wears it to work.

    Looks great!

    Thank you Pharmgirl, I used elastic roulette, which made the buttons easier (but take so long to do up)!!!
    I also added a placket at the skirt sit is just bound and I didn't think that would be very sturdy.
    I *guess* you could add a bit more to the front but I am not very good at pattern adaption. Whenever I 'hack' a pattern it ;looks hacked!

    Lovely dress! This pattern had caught my eye as well, haven't taken the plunge because of, well... the plunge. And - oh, my heavenly days! - all those buttons. But your version is beautiful. Very well done.

    Thank you Beth, it is such a beautiful fabric that I want to make it work.

    Thank you Irina, I certainly feel glamorous in it.

    Thank you jdT, I made it for out formal family photos and my adult daughters are encouraging me to wear it.
    I imagine in on someone like https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/379780181081507034/ Poppy Delevingne in Riviera.

    I have small breasts and such dress doesn’t look good on me. This looks amazing on you , nothing to complain about, I think it is perfectly wearable . ..Depending on the occasion , I suppose.

    Получилось очень женственное и продуманное платье, отличный результат!

    Looks fantastic. And you can you crated this well. I would have the same problem as you’re having. If I were going to try it, I’d insert a triangular modesty panel at the bust. I’ve looked at this pattern. And if make some kind of adjustments to the front. You did a great job.

    Thank you Desiree, I love it but definitely needs the right under garments and support.

    Thank you Jane, a beautiful, beautiful dress but I have fed six children, more suited to a youthful, smaller bust perhaps?

  • Jane Riebe

    Your dress turned out beautifully! Nice workmanship, as usual. Perhaps you could wear a cami or a tube top with it. I have seen a few Lekala patterns that, in my opinion, don't quite get the bust 'right'.

    tres jolie robe mais cela est vrai que le decolleté est profond donc unbon soutien gorge adapté s'impose
