Thanks everyone!

@BethAnn
I can really picture it in my mind...

I'm not sure yet what I'm going to pack, I still have a bit of time to think about it. Maybe I'll do another travel post. We will go by car so I can theoretically pack more, but I have to lug everything across Germany by train to start with.

Oh, so pretty!
and what Sisi said : )

Very pretty! The cotton lining will be nice and cool for summer but I bet that print could be worn other seasons too with a jacket or sweater. Love the green ring!

A fine cotton dress in a beautiful print, lined in cotton, that you can go braless in on the hottest days--that's four times a winner in my book! Such a pretty floral, Astrid. Great ring, too.

Thanks! The ring was my grandma's.

So so pretty <3 You look gorgeous in florals, Astrid. I LOVE this dress on you

Pretty. Great that you could get it altered. Is it lined? I'm thinking of getting a few of my dresses altered. The lady said that lining would make a difference to the cost.

Thanks Maneera!

Sally, yes it is lined in cotton. Alterations were inexpensive all the same, I paid 5€ for the two darts in the back. I take care to keep my alterations simple and the place doesn't do anything customised anyway. It's all taking in and shortening of hems. If it's a bigger alteration and the garment is lined she usually takes 5€ in addition for the lining. But I think the most I have ever paid is 20€, for a coat. It helps that we're in Berlin and that I'm a regular customer...
