Well, I completed my first dress - the anda (sans elastic belt/waistband). I think it turned out better than I expected - especially as I was putting it on throughout the sewing process! I took a lot in on the sides which made it look less sack-like on me.

my first dress - the anda
DescriptionMaterialslinen - which may have been a mistake because looking at this dress in the sunlight, you can see all the wrinkles!

Cool - so is that just a belt that is added to give shape? Looks great
I like the idea of anda dresses in linen...I'm not sure the anda pattern had a boatneck originally like yours, but yours really looks good!
Yeah, I think I misread the pattern and cut out some the neck :) Also the dress was a little big on me so that added to the neck size. But in the end I like how it turned out - a happy mistake I guess! And yup, I just added the belt for shape. I almost always wear a belt with dresses so I knew I wouldn't use the elastic waistband anyway.
and thanks for the kind words - it's nice encouragement for a newbie like me!
Your dress looks fabulous! It is so very flattering! Also, I totally dig that belt...well done!
Nice ! I've been disapointed by mine, I even did't finish it ! Well done !
This is my favorite version of the Anda. just lovely. The fit looks very nice, and the belt looks like it was made for the dress. wonderful job.
