Gorgeous! I was just out purchasing fabric and patterns and this one wasn't in the drawer. Your dress looks so summery and cool and I'm envious.

Your dress is far, far superior to the Michael Kors shirtdress. You look kick a** in that dress! I love it!!!! You should wear it until it falls off.

Thanks for reviewing this wonderful classic. I too have been in love with it, and only wish that I were its size. Bought it though, to make up for DGD. How wonderful that it fit you right off the pattern. Love your sassy pose!

You go girl! I used to think that shirtdresses were rather staid. Boy, was I wrong! You look great.

Well, you didn't fall in love with it from the pattern picture. But we could fall in love with it from your picture - it looks great, and you clearly have fun with the posing. Great fabric choice.

Erica, the dress looks great and looks great on you! I'm impressed...you even matched the eyelet design. Yours is better than the Kors dress. His has modesty issues.
