Notes

Not a good cut for me - the back piece fits well, but the sleeves are short and tight and the V-neck cutaway is for smaller and more sloped shoulders than mine.

I do like the Gaugin tagliatelli as trim, but when I got to the 4th row of the frill, it was all too much. Maybe if it was darker.

Used Shimmer 5 instead of Point 5. Seems to be fine.

Am probably going to frog or heavily modify this pattern - wah! It looked so pretty on the other folks who did it, and I’m cute enough to wear it, I swear I am!
