Notas Alterations:
buttons all the way down to the bottom and omit zipper .
Added single velt pockets under each flap. Added flaps to breast.
I found it too short so used a separate fabric piece to hem instead of folding it back up, to lose minimal length. I found that the dress pattern is shorter a few cm-s in the back center than in the front center . Strange. I cut that.
Fabric: light woven pink and white Chanel style fabric, viscose linen blend.
Instructions are not explicit enough for me for the shoulder straps part: Despite all my efforts I miserably failed putting together the shoulder strap/sleeves part. Notches don’t line up. I ended up cutting off straps and make normal sleeves but I could not lift my arms then ( unsure why). I used sleeves pattern from another lekala dress, and then it worked. I French seamed the armholes. I fully lined the dress with a light weight silk-cotton blend.
