Notes	Simple and fast to make, and I am very happy with the result. Made for a friend according to the measurements she gave me over the phone; I cut it 5cm longer than the pattern because I know my friend's preferred length. Thay was the only change I made to the pattern, everything else is exactly as was printed. I used fold-over elastic, unfolded, for the elastic at the waist - the plush inner side and the gentle stretch is more pleasant next to the skin, I think, than is 'ordinary' elastic. My friend really liked the dress and sent me this photo from on her boat.
