Polka Dots Shift Dress

Hello everyone, I mentioned on my last post that I will be making some sewing projects for summer and here is one of them :) I have done this dress many days ago but only this morning I manage to take pictures. Dress descriptions: Very simple style sleeveless shift dress that is perfect for everyday wear, the dress has square neck with bias binding around the neckline,  front and back darts, knee length, middle zipper and finished with hooks and eyes. Materials: 2 yards of dark blue polka dots stretch cotton ( the amount of stretch is just very little ), fusible interfacing, same color invisible zipper, hooks n' eyes, grey color bias tape and same color of thread. Pattern and modifications: For the pattern, I used Burdastyle Vintage Modern Jamie Shift Dress  size 34. You can see my first dress based on this pattern, here I made some modifications on the pattern - based on my first dress , I change the front and back...
