Initially I was worried about the large print being over-whelming, but the more I sewed, the more the colors made me smile.
The fabric is a silky print (polyester) from Joann Fabrics.
No zipper, no buttons and no interfacing. It was super easy. The big loose pockets can be buttoned if you choose. The pattern show that option. I like them without buttons and hanging. I think it gives the dress volume.
