Your dress came out so great! And ya know - my version is actually growing on me and I've worn it a couple of times since I made it. I think you are right about the knit affecting the drape and maybe that's why I don't love-love mine. After seeing your cute version I might just have to try this dress one more time is a thinner, more slinky knit just to see how it works. Great job!

Just lovely! I'm not getting the maternity feeling at all looking at it. I love the fabric!

Great dress, I agree this pattern is a winner, and I couldn't agree with your fabric choice more (LOL).

Wow, that's a cute one! Good tip on the sizing. I would probably have automatically gone smaller because of the ease the Big 4 generally include. I'll have to look for this one.

Lovely on you Melissa - you've definately gone twisted !!!!!

Great looking dress, I have this dress cut out at the moment for the knit fabric contest so I hope it turns out as nicely as yours.

So cute! I have that red/white/black print as well. Maybe it wants to be a dress after all...

You look fantastic in this dress...as you know I love anything "twist" LOL I have his pattern and must get around to sewing it...I was thinking even as modifying it to a top..do you think the drape is too low for this? Enjoy your dresses !

Very, very hip. This is a great style for your body type. It shows off your slender figure fabulously. Love the print. Great job.

Wow. This dress is stunning on you. This pattern has just gone on my wish list. Thanks for the review.

I love this dress. I think I will make one for DD#1. I just found out she does not have any dresses she can wear and this one would be nice now and as an early pregnancy dress if that occurs. I checked out Kathi's version and really like both yours and hers. I have this pattern and keep eyeing it when I go through my extensive stash. Thanks for a great review.
