Laura Ashley dress (read details) for project (Taverham NR8)

Does anyone fancy a sewing challenge?
A vintage Laura Ashley sun dress in a size 10 or 12, but there is a slit in the centre of the front of the bodice where I intended to try to alter the fit but instead wrecked a perfectly good dress. It was only worn once or twice. The dress has a side zip and straps that button on at the back. The material is very pretty; a pale buttery yellow background with a pattern of blue birds and green and pink sprigs.
For collection from Taverham.
