Great pattern, fit nicely. This is a long dress (as drafted)! I didn't do all the piecing on the front bodice because of the large print. This was my first invisible zipper and I looked around for extra instruction, but as I recall this issue had extra pictures on the zipper insertion also. I believe Otto made it as a special occasion dress, but this is just made with quilter's cotton.

I made 3 of these. I didn't use invisible zippers but will on future ones.

This is the mockup to test out the pattern, modeled by my 3yo boy. Size 98.

And 2 in a lovely cotton jacquard. I did the piecing on the front and did it directionally for a very subtle effect.

I sized this down to about a 12m for my daughter's baptism. Made from silk dupioni.
