Edited to add a photo that better shows the lines of the dress:
I loved the lines of this dress when I saw the pattern introduced. In spite of the difficulties mentioned in the lone review at PR, I decided to make it anyway. It was a challenge!! The bodice construction was quite clever but I could have used more directions and/or illustrations in the pattern to help me through. I'm happy with how it turned out (but secretly, very glad it's done!!)
Particulars:
Pattern: Butterick 5780 with modified sleeve
Fabric: A medium weight ponte knit
Omitted zipper
Jazz Hands for Nancy!
More details related to the construction in my PR review here.
It turned out beautifully! And love the jazz hand trend :-)
