I can't thank everyone enough for your incredible feedback. I love it! I've decided to take a personal risk and enter this dress into Pattern Review's Vintage Pattern Contest. *eep*
Please visit my blog for more pictures and chatter about this dress. I really am falling in love with it. :)

PS: Have I ever mentioned my zipper phobia? This one has a big 'un that I need to sew in down the back. Tips and tricks for sewing an invisible zipper are welcome. Otherwise, I'll end up bald and stressed out. Not a good look when wearing the dress, methinks.
