Still a work in progress

This is the front of the dress.  I still need to take up the side seams a little more through the waist area to have a little essence of waist.  This is really a shift (sack) dress.  I still need to add the bias binding at the neck, hem the sleeves and the dress.

Here is a shot of the back of the dress and will need to add hook and eye.

    Those colours just block together so well!!! Looking forward to seeing it finished...

    I really like the dress. The color blocking looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing about the need to give the dress some waist shaping. I am always hesitant to sew a shift dress because of shape.

      It really does need some essence of waist for me and reading some others reviews they have said pretty much the same thing.

    Pretty colors. I recently purchased that pattern, but haven't settled on colors - plus sewing time is at a premium right now.

    The dress is a winner. I love the color combination.

      Thank you. You also picked this color combination for me when you commented a few post back. The pink and lavender is a break away from my usual colors of warm shades like orange, yellow and green.
