Sporting my finished dress at the conference with Coach's vice president, Jim Offutt. It was so comfortable for shaking my booty on the dance floor :-) and I recieved many compliments on it! Since the pattern doesn't give many details, here are some tips. I used two pieces of elastic for the waiste. First, I measured the a strand of elastic around my waiste to get the right amount of give, but not too tight. Then, I pinned ends together on one side of the dress and the middle of the length to the other side of the dress (on the wrong side of the fabric). Measure 1/4 the length of the entire piece of elastic and pin to the front center of the dress and same for the back. As you sew between the 4 pinned areas, pull the elastic so it is flush with the fabric. It took 4 hands (thanks again, mom) to pull and run through the machine, but turned out perfect!
