Ansley's Maxi Dress

This is Ansley's current favorite dress b/c it "drags on the floor" and b/c she picked out the fabrics (coquette by chez moi for Moda). I used McCall's M6736, with the goal of making view B. It turned out that I didn't have enough fabric for three ruffles at the bottom so I went with two. The bodice is a size five and the length is a size four, pretty typical for Ansley. The pockets called for a lot of extra fabric, which I found a little strange. I should've reinforced the top straps, since the dress is fairly heavy. I also omitted the zipper and currently have to pin the back of the bodice b/c the weight makes it sag and drag even more on the ground. The pattern is rated "easy" and it was easy but had lots of steps and was pretty time consuming.
