This is a dress I made recently. The pattern is from my boss, Diana Rupp's, book, S.E.W. I work for Diana at Make Workshop on the Lower East Side. The fabric was free on craigslist, but it is totally beautiful. I altered the pattern by lowering the back by about 2". Check out the picture below. 
The lining I used for the bodice is this adorable fabric my grandmother gave me years ago. I believe it was from Japan.
Invisible zipper win, but waist line match up fail. It is off by about a 1/2", bummer.
My sister graduated from Berkley with a Masters in Public Health. This is us in her kitchen all dressed up! Who knows the next time I'll have the opportunity to wear this pretty dress.
