It took me awhile when I got home to get it together to take pictures...but they are done and sent off to Elizabeth - the host of the JCC.
However, I wanted to share with you my favorite pic of the dress...
I love this dress! It met and exceeded all of my expectations from when I was "dreaming" it up! I love the movement of the pleats...I love the brown accents...but I especially love how feminine the dress makes me feel!
I promise I'm moving on and talking about techniques and patterns and other sewing stuff in my next couple of posts...I'm just so thrilled to be finished with these JCC pieces!

How nice to see the dress on you! It's very pretty, one of those ones you have to see on a body to fully appreciate. And love the smile! You did good!!
Beautiful!!! Congrats on finishing!
Any dress that gives you a smile that big has to be a winner. I loved this fabric when you first showed it, and it turned into a fabulous dress. I love happy clothes.
The dress looks beautiful on you. I can see why you like it so much.
The smile says it all! I love the whole ensemble & I'm so glad you met the deadline.
Congradulations! You look fabulous.Don't love it when a garment lifts your spirits when you wear it? Bravo!
You did it! Yippee! And it looks 'mabalous, dahling'!!! It truly does, it's lovely! Great job!
Oh, Carolyn, that dress is wonderful! You look stunning, the colours and style of the dress are perfect for each other and the shoes just top it all off. Can't wait to see it with the jacket. I love the way you're wearing your hair, too. It looks a little different somehow ...
I am so glad you finished the JCC on time, all your garments look terrific, but I just love this dress. I had to laugh when I read you saying you had sewing ADD. I spent most of June sewing baby clothes that need to be ready in mid July, so no urgency, why, I do not know! It made me sew until 11pm on June 30 on my own things.
Wow! you look wonderful in the dress! I like how the brown bands add interest to the dress and tie everything together. Great job!
It looks fantastic on you! The brown adds a lot of pep to the dress.
You look beautiful! The dress is perfect, Carolyn.
The dress is great and it's very flattering. Kudos!
Congratulations on your finishing the JCC! All the garments look great and this picture really brings your dress to life!
What a pretty dress, Carolyn! The whole JCC looks great!
That dress is very pretty! Love the dropped waist.
Getting an awesome result like you did with that dress is exactly why I/we sew, isn't it? I love that feeling!
This is my first visit to your site, and I'm loving what I see! This dress is fabulous :-)
Very feminine and you look very happy wearing it!
I just have to add my two cents and tell you how pretty you are in the new dress. I like for all the reasons you do. You did a great job getting all the details together.
The dress looks gorgeous on you! I can't wait to see the others.
I can totally stand more JCC talk. The dress looks great on you and you have the biggest smile. Congrats on a winner
You look fabulous in that dress!!Love the fabric.
Perfect dress! And I know what you mean about being tired - but I have caught up now :)
I am always happy to see eyecandy on blogs - that is my favourite bit, so don't apologise!
Hey congratulations on finishing, all your pieces look lovely, but the dress really stands out. Such a gorgeous print and the brown bands are a fantastic detail.
It looks so pretty on you and you look so confident in it! Wonderful!
Carolyn, I love the bands on this dress. You always look so happy in your pictures. You should too because what a great thing it is to make an outfit and then wear it and look so fantastic.
