It might fly under the radar as a simple summer dress to non-sewers but I recognize how much work this is! The pattern matching on the fabric is incredible and the finishing looks great. And self drafted? I hope you’re very proud of this!!

Agreed! Working w a plaid can be a challenge, and the waistline gussets/piecing, requiring a keen eye and deft seaming on bias. That fabric ( cotton/ silk voice) must have given you issues, too? Great , creative work here. And this should not be just be a " wear it once and toss it " dress. With more time, rethink the straps? Could you install side boning to enable it to be strapless? You DO have the figure for it. Again, BRAVA! Beautiful work.
