I'm done. 
Even hemming, which is always a sore spot with me. The only thing left is a hook/eye or maybe button/loop in the back 
at the neck. I really struggled with the zipper since I didn't have an invisible zipper foot and had to make due. That was the only real issue except the poor stitches. I really like this dress. The fabric, the pattern, the fit.
It was all good. The only pattern adjustment was the usual two inches added to the bodice length, and I'm quite used to that. Now, let's do some math. 2 yards at $1/yard, lining at $1.50/yard, thread, pattern at $2.99, zipper. I think I have about a $10 dress all in. And I will use the pattern again. Sorry about the pictures, but my photographer isn't really into my photographs.

Helped a little, but still not great. **sigh**
It does look good on you and no one would ever know that was $1 p/yd fabric!
