Notes I didn't expect the pleats on the neckline when I started this. So I changed them to a dart at the side-bust. I serged all edges before sewing anything together, I understitched the facing, and tacked the facing to the shoulder seams. The dress wasn't difficult to sew once I figured out how the sleeves were supposed to be placed.
In hindsight: the shoulders are a bit on the large side (that's all on me, since I didn't make a mock-up). The fabric is a printed crepe georgette that's slightly see through, but my grandmother prefers to wear a slip dress under it instead of me adding a lining.
I'm satisfied and my grandmother loves the dress.

    How much joy it gives to make something for your grandmother. We all come across things that need to be changed, but you did it well and the most important thing is that it turned out to be a success.
