@thetallprincess Instagram-posted her delightful creation from pattern D40-4711, the 1946 Day or Evening Dress. She was randomly chosen in the drawing to receive the $25 gift certificate to EvaDress.com for the month of May!  She really nailed the elegance of adding a sequin motif along the neckline, capturing the 1940's concept of drawing flattery to the face!
