This is a Burnt Orange Tafatta.  I found it at JoAnn Fabrics for $12.99, I used a 40% off coupon.  I got 3yds 60" wide.  I drafted this pattern myself.  It is my first design and first lined pattern.  
I am going to alter it some.  I will cut 2" from the top of the bodice.  Hopefully this will provide more "coverage" on the breast area.  I didn't curve the waist line, but will wittle a couple of inches off there too.  I an using a different lining.  The one I selected is the perfect color, but was $2.99 and it worked like it.  There is a Party Tafatta which matches that I may try.
My daughter says her friends give the dress an A+.  The smile on her face means even more to me.
