Summer last dress

Back at work by a lovely sun - and some canucule days. Still enjoying summer, for a while, before it goes.

Back with all desires et energy for making it.

The desire of a new dress, probably the last for this summer.

Robe 139 du Burda Style du mois de Mai 2012
Jean merveilleusement souple (EdH)

A wide gathered neckline, an empire waist and a slightly flared cut very flattering ... in short, the perfect dress!

The only problem ... It was only defined in large sizes (44 to 52). Never mind, I reduced it to a 40. Too easy!

A look at the details, in particular the invisible zipper, 
 sewn my way again (50% common sense / 50% hack... if anybody kwows a real tutorial...)
 and balloon sleeves which bias sewing was a great time (of loneliness, I mean!)

So? Isn't it just perfect for me?
