How dowdy you can get?

I made this I think back in April. I remember February and March were the pure hell in the office ending in me making 40 hours overtime. So really no sewing involved...
And than April came with some nice spring weather and there was this flower Burda issue, so I bought the fabric at alfatex online (since I cannot go to the store that regularly any more) and made this dress.
I must say it is actually a dowdy dress made with a crazy, a bit retro fabric - in reality it is more saturated. I really like it...







I made the pattern myself based I believe on this blouse pattern. I got lazy about tracing new patterns...
