Modifications: I sewed the gathered skirt pieces to the front and back bodice separately, and then sewed the side seams with the zippers. I used 14″ invisible zippers for this cotton/linen fabric, and they are perfect!

The bodice is lengthened by 5″ (to my natural waist – if you were able to see it), and the sleeves are 9″ long. I did think about adding pockets, but having side seam zipper + pockets was more than my brain could handle at the moment. This fabric is a cotton/linen that I thrifted.

Happy Mira Dress sewing!
