Birthday Dress - Sense and Sensibility "Swing Dress"

So I like to wear dresses on my birthday, which was almost a month ago. So this year I decided to make a dress out of the beautiful blue flowered fabric I found in the discount centre.

There are some issues with the dress, I found that the fabric had very little stretch compared to the fabric I used to make the same pattern last time, and when I moved the snaps on the side popped open. I am going to replace the snaps with a zipper soon, and hopefully that will help.

I added some lace and buttons to give a bit extra to the dress, and I changed the sleeves to cape from the intended pattern sleeve.
