This is a close up of the bubble collar detail.  Very new technique for me and a little challenging (especially because the pattern is misprinted and doesnt explain how you are supposed to do it) but totally worth it in the end. 
The is a shot of the whole dress that I made. 
This is a closer look at the inside ... a view of the lining and also the wrap.  This was also a first for me.  I have never fully lined anything before and felt pretty fancy when slipping it on.  ;)
This is the picture I tore out of the catalog ... my inspiration.  Didnt love it in white but thought the cranberry worked very well.

I saw this dress in a favorite catalog (Down East Basics) I get and set out to make it.  I found a pattern that was almost identical to the dress in the catalog.  Butterwick 5320.  I changed only a few things.  I made the sleeves less snug than the inspiration but tighter than the butterwick pattern.  I also brought the neck line up a little from the pattern.
