Thank you all so much for your feedback on Vogue 1257. The general consensus was to shorten or remove the sleeves and/or shorten the hem. I couldn't believe that it hadn't even occurred to me to do that, clearly I'm not very imaginative at the moment.
Sorry - it's raining and this is the best the kids could manage.
As you can see I chose to shorten the sleeves - I've lopped off 34cm and then used a 1 inch hem. I forgot to mention in my previous post that I hadn't hemmed the dress at all so the skirt now has a 1.5 inch hem. It's definitely an improvement. I wore it to work today and it was comfy, but it doesn't rock my world. I've also decided that this is a dress for someone with a bigger bust than me - I really don't fill out all those pleats up top!
Tomorrow is ANZAC Day so I'm planning a day of sewing and football. Go Bombers!

The changes made a big difference and looks good on you.
I love this colour and the dress is really looking good - the sleeve length really makes a big difference!
The changes make a big difference and I can tell by the photograph that you think so as well!
Big difference with the shorter sleeves, it mightn't rock your world, but a good stand by for those days when everything is in the wash. Hope you had a good sewing day, I managed to finish my Minoru.
Wow, so gorgeous!! You look stunning, and if I had this beauty in my wardrobe I would be pretty happy! Love it with that silver necklace and those boots.
Thank you for your lovely comment on my Mum's kimono and I will be sure to pass your kind words along. She will be thrilled to have received so many compliments!
