I had good luck with a drapey double knit (non pocket version) and one disastorous looking dress with a slightly heavier knit, heavy knit does not skim over the tummy and it accentuates bad areas :-) so discarded that one. 8/18/07 10:05 AM

Too bad, too, as the pockets came out well, etc. So I tried to redo it by practically taking it all apart and resewing it and still didn't like it. I finally gave it away. 5/21/08 8:35 PM
