Garden Party Dress #2 Sleeveless version

*drumwirl*
I have been waiting for this moment for soooo long! 
My second Garden Party Dress is finally finnished!
This time I did a few changes, since I literally screwed the first one up...
But this time I knew what to do, and at least what NOT to do.
First of all, I went one size up, sinc the bodice was to tight on the first one.
I allso skipped the arms, and may I say; It looks freak`n nice! hehe....
It makes a sweet summerdress.


*cool and calm*

I allso cut the neck-split about 3-4 cm longer down then the pattern says. 
I think that suits me better.
Allso, the skirt goes under the knee. I have lined the bodice whit a brown-goldish silk-like fabric. 
Thats an other thing I have never done.... I like new things:)



Oh yes! Pockets! I LOVE pockets! Allso new for me.


The fabric is some sort of cotton, and has a feel of linen to it.  I bought it on Etsy from a Japanese seller. Nice prices and great quality. The colour is somewhat army-moss green. As you know, I love green.

So.. what is the verdict? Does it pass as a Garden Party Dress? 
I think this will do well as a party as in the office.
Right no I am knitting my ass of to finnish a cardigan to go over it for friday. Then it is Norways national day! Hurra! 
Another post about that later, with lots of history and what we wear in Norway on such a day. 
And I am pretty shure it is like nothing you have EVER seen before! Looking forward to it :)
