I needed a dress for my cousins wedding. I made this dress using a lightweight poly and lined it with a thicker weight poly (same fabric as the sash).
The dress has a side zipper, so I took out the centre back seam. I also changed the lining to remove the darts to take the bulk out of the waist. I interfaced the bodice with some broadcloth as I didn't want to use fusible. I made a sash style belt instead of the one included in the pattern.
I made the following pattern modifications for fit:
- lengthened bodice (for a long torso)
- shortened above bust point on front
- shortened skirt (I'd lengthened the bodice...)
- tweaked dart fit
