Simple and sophisticated

I made this dress especially for a wedding, I was looking for something simple with sleeves and an easy length that could be worn again. The meridian ticked all those boxes! My version was in a lovely drapey lyocell which gave it a fancy feel which still being fairly easy to sew with. It’s a bit of a strange pattern because the waist ties grow out of the bodice front like strange long boob holders but when its complete it really does look great! I only struggled with one bit of the pattern – joining the bodice with the skirt – I think I must have clipped a bit too far so take your time and pay attention with it. I also found it to be a bit roomy (not an issue but worth having a look at the finished measurements chart) and took about an 1inch in on the skirt. Would 100% make another – maybe in a linen for a wondering summer dress.
