New dress

I finished this dress about 2 weeks ago but never got around to posting it yet. I won the pattern on ebay and really wanted to make it asap. I prefer style 1 but didn't have any contrasting fabric for the ties to go with the red and white cotton.
I had seen some "low waist" styles in the Grace Kelly exhibition in London a few months back. I think it's still on in the V&A for everyone in and near London. It's beautiful and very inspiring. Anyway, I adored the lower waisted shirt dress in the exhibition and was looking for a similar pattern until this one popped up. Enjoy and please visit my blog for more pictures and much appreciated feedback. Thank you!
