I made a few adjustments to the pattern. I lengthened the bodice a little, scooped out the neckline and took the back in a little at the top as it gaped. This is a lot of ease in this pattern and after I made a muslin of my normal size I had to go down a size and then take a bit more in at places. Instead of using facings I used bias binding for the neckline. The only issues I had with the instructions were the pockets. There was a little unpicking, but now I know what it is meant to look like it makes much more sense and the next time I make it it will be a lot quicker and easier.
The fabric is Just My Type by Patty Young for Michael Miller which a bought from The Fat Quarter Shop.

What a fabulous dress...you're not the only one who missed this pattern.
What a great dress. The shape is so flattering as well and I love the print. I want a maxi dress that I can sew and there are no zippers. Still looking...
I love the dress and fabric. You look really nice in it.
Love that dress and the fabric is just perfect! It really suits you Kate :-)
Those really are the best pockets in a dress ever! What a shame it's out of print or I'd be making one straight away. Another great pattern / fabric combo. You're so clever!
That dress looks very nice :)
Love it! I had this pattern saved in Pinterest and how disappointing to learn it's no longer in print. The bodice details are very unique.
It looks great Kate, and I have looked for this pattern for ages too. Congrats for getting a copy of it!!!
Woo hoo! Looks fabulous. You've inspired me to make one for winter. P.s thanks for the patterns.x
