    If I were to make this dress, I would find a sunflower fabric made of satin so it's shiny and I would also make the dress a little longer.

    But would this pattern work if the waist is small, but the bust is big? I always struggle to find patterns that fit, because in order to fit my bust I have to use pattern 2-3 sizes bigger than i actually am.

    • @KianaBonollo

      because the front waist is larger than the back waist! (the front is larger because of our stomachs!)

    Do you remove your basting stitches after you sew the gathers in? I've seen it both ways. Also looks stunning as always, and you didn't elope right?? 😍😂

      I don't personally- when I serge the fabric is hides the basting stitches. And no we didn't elope! I just think this dress would be gorgeous for an elopement.
