I used pattern m6460 to make this dress. Because the pattern was "Easy" it did not have a lining and some of instructions lead to what ultimately would have turned out to a tacky looking dress. I incorporated my own knowledge to get the results I did. I altered the back. The zipper was supposed to be placed at the nape of the neck but I lowered and shortened it. I also added a lining. The dress turned out really form fitting and quite a bit low in the front. FYI in case anyone else goes to make it.

My version:

I love your version. Although it looks much more fitted than the pattern sample photo shows.

Very nice! I like a black-white-grey version (yours) way better than a white-gold one.

I wanted it to be a little more fitted than what the original showed so I did some altering and made it a size smaller. Being that it was close to finals and stress, I gained a little weight in the process, it did turn out a little tighter around the hips than I had hoped.
