~The fabric came from Allegro Fabrics. I bought a piece last year to make a skirt...I did not get around to it, and this year I decided that I'd rather have a dress...so thankfully they still had a few yards (on clearance), and I was able to buy more!
~I lengthened the bodice 2 1/2 inches, so I could wear a belt with it. (but I don't have to)
~I also added an extra inch of fabric to each shoulder front, and gathered it to make it match the back bodice. (Then pinched it out in 2 pleats at the waist.)
~And I pinched out 2 more pleats, so...4 pleats total. =)
~The zipper is a regular zipper, set in the side- easier to get in and out of.

*SONP not is officially happening this year, but I like to sew, and wear cute dresses & skirts anyway, so I'll just do my own thing....(Summer of No Pants is a Google+ group, and anyone can join & post at anytime.)

Very cute!! Great job!
This dress as all the other dresses you have made are true classics and elegant! Love the style for you! Try this style with a 3/4 sleeve with a cuff and without a cuff. You have a good eye for style, my sweet girl!
