I think I could have made her a 32, but the dress fits reasonably well. The waistband is higher than in the pattern, and I could have made a petite adjustment between the shoulders and the bust. This is the second time I have felt this with a BWOF pattern on my daughter, so I will definitely do this for her next BWOF garment.
I am particularly happy with the smocked and pleated middle section of the dress.
The green voile sash needed more balancing against the pink than we originally expected. I have both piped the bodice seams, neckline and armholes, and finished the hem with bias binding in the green.
The flower at the centre back is a lazy daisy with stem stitch and detached chain in the same green as the sash - DMC 732.

I love this in your colors. That smocking is great too.
Beautiful, and so very unique. I love the smocking and the lazy daisy on the back.
What a gorgeous dress! You have done a beautiful job (as usual) ;)
Beautiful dress. It fits your DD perfectly. The mocking is superb. I haven't worked up the nerve to try it.
I love the smocking!! Great idea :)
