It's lovely. I'm sure you could wear it to many places other than wine tastings.

What a great dress Mary! I'm envious of your fabric find - it's lovely and perfect for this dress, which is so current! Great job!

Beautiful dress! I would wear it any where - from church to grocery store, or even doing laundry :) It looks very comfy.

It is a beatiful dress, and I think it can be worn at many occasions (maybe not doing laundry, but shopping for shoes or clothing definitely).

Gorgeous fabric and a great choice for a dress! I would've been over the moon if I'd found that at my local thrift shop! And you have a pink 1966 Singer? Nice!

You bring back fond memories. My mother and I used to tag-team my wardrobe so I don't remember if she sewed this one up or I did, but I had it in lime green gingham in the short version. The skirt WOULD blow up in the wind! In spite of that, I loved the dress for the way it showed off my tiny 16-year-old waist! Great job on the dress and a helpful review.
