This dress is exquisite! I made it with that delicious midnight blue material I found at Pings. I originally bought 5 yards because I love Navy blue. However, the hand and sheen of the fabric drew me back to the store where I bought what was left on the roll. It was not expensive. I think it was a bridal leftover . It was a delight to sew. The pattern features a back bow, dropped waist, and set in pockets.
