Pirates of the Caribbean: Gold Dress, The Home Stretch


Whew! Almost there--I need to attach the trim, and sew the underskirt, and this one is finally done! I'm pretty pleased with how this Simplicity pattern turned out--besides the lacing down the back and making different sleeves, I followed it almost exactly. It's not constructed like the movie version at all (but who has the time or patience for all that pleating in the back?) but it has the right look, I think. For someone who's trying to get as close to the movie version as possible, I would suggest narrowing the stomacher a bit.
