Party Dress!

I just LOVE how this dress turned out! I think it will be much easier for me to make if I need to do it again, I read and re-read the tutorial a few times.  I am one of those people that needs to understand WHY I am doing a certain part and how it works for the overall project.  I used The Cottage Home's Party Dress Tutorial.  She gives you patterns, but I needed a smaller bodice so I did got a butterick pattern and shrunk her measurements for the skirt and sash too.  I am crossing my fingers that this fits my niece!  If you have any questions about the tutorial she is pretty quick at responding or you can ask me.
