Notes
I used Simplicity 1415. The finished project doesn't look much like any of the cover photos at all.

I used satin charmeuse overlaid with beaded lace for the top and satin charmeuse for the underskirt and chiffon for the under skirt. I made the sleeve much smaller just little caps sleeves using the lace edge. Also the lace overlay had a nice scalloped edge so I left the lace overlay free at the waistline so as to show off the pretty edge of the lace. 

I did a mock up of the bodice with muslin first to get the fit right and made the actual pattern from the muslin once it was all adjusted. This worked well. I didn't have to do any adjustments with the fit on the actual fabric. Because the back was low. I made a bulit in bra which worked really well. 

I tried a technique for the hem that I had not done before. I did a narrow zigzag then cinged the edges of the fabric which worked out very nicely.
