So I finally made a dress that fits correctly!! Hooray!!!!!! After 2 muslins, a whole lot of time, and frustration later I got this! You have no idea how incredibly excited I am to finally have made a dress that fits the way it is supposed to!
I used Retro-Butterick b5478 and some lovely polka dotted cotton I found at Hancock’s Fabric

This looks great! Pretty color on you.
Thank you
The dress is gorgeous and looks great on you.
It fits you so perfectly! I love it!
Very cute! Congrats on not giving up and making something lovely.
Yay! You’re adorable in that dress and I love the vintage hairstyling too.
Beautiful fit – looks beautiful on you!
So summery! Your bodice is fitted beautifully. I know how challenging that can be the first time you do it. I also am more busty, and I hadn’t worn a dress in years until I made my own bodice. It’s such an achievement when you put it on, and it fits! I love it. The skirt length is perfect, too.
