Done!
I got the dress done last night and since I plan to wear it Sunday, I thought I'd better some pictures of me wearing it before it becomes Sunday night and I've worn the outfit all day.
Here is the dress by itself. I'm really happy with the way this one turned out - fitted but not tight. I'll definitely keep this pattern in a place where I can find it whenever I need a simple sheath dress again.
Last but not least, this is what you get when you let your husband make styling suggestions. As I was pulling the heels out of the closet, he suggested, "Wear the red tennis shoes!". Alrighty, here they are. 
I am really, really happy with the whole outfit. I think there are still some small changes I could make to the jacket, but I'll get to those when I make the plaid version in the next few weeks.Parting Shot: More Costume Stuff. This time I get to work with the pretty colors and the sparkly trim! Last time I had all the plain, dull colored costumes so this will be more fun.

Just beautiful and it fits like a glove. Great job as always.
What a great outfit!
The tennis shoes look divine !! lol !!
Such a beautiful outfit - love the fabrics, love the styles, love all of it! Um, except for the tennis shoes :) although the colour match certainly is good!
A beautiful ensemble.
Great outfit! I love that dress - the perfect fit is amazing!
What an incredible outfit. It looks fantastic on you. I think red is your best color.
What a gorgeous ensemble!
Gorgeous outfit, the fit on the dress is incredible - your waist is tiny!
Fantastic, you look amazing! Your recap of matching the print over the zipper left me speechless. Great outfit!
LOVE IT! You really do look great in red!
Wonderful, it really suits you. And that is the key "fitted but not tight" so many people on TV are wearing tight in such a cringe making way, becaue they are trying for fitted! They are all too cheap to pay for couture tailoring.
Can't wait to see what you do with the check!
Fabulous. Love the whole outfit. Fits beautifully.
gorgeous!
I don't know if you realize this or not but your photos lately are coming across very blurry and grainy.
That's a beautiful outfit. Divine. Especially with the tennies!
I love this outfit on you! Absolutely gorgeous.
Beautiful! The fit is wonderful of both the jacket and the sheath. Love the shot with the tennis shoes. :-) Your husband has quite the sense of humor.

The dress turned out gorgeous. And with the jacket it's a wonderful combination. What a great job, my compliments!
That outfit is stunning!!! Where did you get those shoes? They are perfect with that outfit.
I love, love, love the outfit! Wonderful job!
Really pretty, femenine and stylish. You look great in this ensemble!
Wow! You are such an inspiration! Now I want to drop everything and make a sheath dress!
If one would look that smashing on me I just might...but I have a feeling I wouldn't look quite so !!! in one...
You did a lovely job as always. Thanks so much for sharing the process and the results with all of us!
Very stylish!
Send this fabulous outfit right on over! It will save me making one for my daughter's school leaving function.
Wow, what a great ensemble! The dress and the jacket are adorable! Great work!
beautiful dress and jacket. I always love seeing what you're making. I think we have similar body type and fit issues. This looks great on you
Beautiful combination. Perfect as always.
And thank you so much for the lining instructions, very helpful.
Gorgeous dress and a lovely combination of garments.
