I finally finished my rule Britannia! dress. Colette Macaron, in denim and cotton polka-dot. Went okay until I got to the zipper, when disaster struck. A rather long-winded blog post about this dress (and others) is here http://farahmakesstuff.blogspot.com/2011/05/im-late-im-late-for-very-important-date_25.html

Even if you are mad at this dress (more so the zipper-grrr) it looks lovely on you and it's very playful for summertime. I hope you two can become friends because you look great together!

Oh, and I love the lilac bush behind you such a pretty setting!

Thank you Cathe!  I adore my lilac bush, and spend as much time in my backyard as I can when it is in bloom.  My forget-me-nots have taken over this year though, and are almost steeling the show!

I think the dress and I will make up soon.  It is very comfortable.

Love the polka dots...I almost did a Macaron, but decided the fabric I had wasn't right (and would be too warm for MMJune).

Oh I love it! Can't wait to make this pattern!

You are too adorable!  Love that you used denim as your base and added the red polka dot - this screams summer to me!  Also love the bodice detail - the red really pops... very well done!!!

Gorgeous!  I bought the macaroon pattern ages ago and have been waiting for the right fabric to come along.  I really like the piping details as well.
