Red Summer dress from the first two weeks of college

When I bought the material I could picture it becoming this dress, and despite nearly a two year wait it finally did! There are a few things that I would change for the next time I use this pattern - namely altering the bust slightly. Before sewing in the straps at the back it seemed to fit perfectly, but rather typically when 'done' it was a bit roomy at the sides. The ever patient Louise suggested crossing the straps over at the back (accompanied by a warning not to be ripping my dress off!!!) which offered a perfect solution to the problem. The downside was trying to put on a bra having crossed the straps over to match - but that's another story!
