Similar fabric caught my eye, but the bright colors made me hesitant. I found a couple of yards of this remnant that was marketed as Prada silk twill. Of the three words used to describe it, maybe the twill part is true, but I don't care. It is in a wearable color palette ( for me, atleast).
I made it up with new Look 6095, the first pattern I ever bought.And what drew me to it was the striped dress the model is wearing! I cut a straight size 10, because it was the smallest size on it and I made the usual 3" height reduction.

This is my first zipper in a dress! I watched some you tube tutorials before attempting a center seam installation and said a prayer, had my fingers crossed etc, only the zipper itself turned out to be completely redundant. The neckline is wide enough for my head to fit through. Maybe next time I make this I will leave out the center seam altogether. I finished the neckline with bias tape. It's easier, IMO.
