Jason Wu Get the Look for Less

This is my entry for the PatternReview.com Bargainista Fashionista 2021 Contest. I'm making my own version of a Jason Wu Evening Jersey Long Sleeve Day dress that retails for $1895 and my version cost $33.75 to make for a 98.2% savings. I used Butterick 6703 as my base pattern and heavily altered all the front pieces to be able to be gathered in the shoulders and in the waist. I also altered the wrap portion of the dress to actually be sewn together with no tie. I think I came very close with this dress and I like wearing it very much. It is very comfortable and it looks fancy and interesting.

Pattern base: Butterick 6703 Fabric: Telio Softique Rayon Spandex Jersey in Pine
