I recently wanted a bright and airy dress to wear to a friend’s spring wedding, and decided on the Chalk & Notch Orchid dress bodice. I paired it with the Lotta skirt by Tilly and the Buttons to add a bit of swish. I really enjoyed making the bodice and especially the construction of the yoke, which was new to me and I’ve since used that construction method on other dresses with a front yoke.

The only modifications I made were a 1cm narrow shoulder adjustment and lengthening the bodice by 1cm as well. I got a lot of compliments on my dress and it was lovely to wear on the day!
