Handmade Dress

A few weeks ago I came across these adorable kid curtains in Goodwill. They had animal prints across them--and I immediately envisioned a printed tea dress.
I modified my chevron dress pattern to make this. Instead of a pleated skirt, I gathered it. And I changed the top to a v neck shape. 
The only thing I wish this dress had was some cute hidden pockets! Alas, I don't know how to make pockets yet. I looked up a tutorial and it seems fairly straightforward, but I have not attempted it yet. I paired this dress with a cardigan and my kitty hat later that evening for a work-related picnic with my husband!
