Notas	This isn't quite finished (can anyone tell me the "safe place" I put my interfacing in?! I'm also awaiting the zip which should arrive mid-week. I also need to hem the sleeves and bottom, but I'm considering a contrast white trim. I printed an adjusted pattern for myself (as I'm a non-standard shape) and the bust seems to fit well. Yay! I am considering lowering the neckline though as it is a little higher than I'd like. I wan't able to download the construction instructions so I've been somewhat winging this. I think a few rude words may be said as I try and apply the facing as I'm not entirely sure the neckline at the back it correct, When I make this again I'll actually raise the bottom of the waist band and probably add a few cm to the length of the skirt. {Update} I overlocked the seams of the skirt and hem and this provided an little extra structure for the godets. I did lower the neckline and would do so again when making this dress.

Hi Baroness, For some reason I have found some Lekala on the short side. I always check the length before cutting now as I'm not into mini dresses or skirts. :>
