🙂 It looks a lot like a dress that I wore to a dance when I was in high school (1970s)! (Mine was mostly pink.)
I think the dress is great! You did a wonderful job and the fabric and colors are perfect!
how fun! perfect for a disco!
Thanks. I felt a bit like Sandee from Grease before she goes cool. 😉
delightful!
