I agree, wearing slacks all winter gets boring, so your outfit is DEFINITELY not that! Very well styled!!

Great looking version. Like the fact you lined it. I have just made this pattern I must take some pictures and post my review. I live in mine.

This is the best make I've seen of this pattern. I've made it as a top and now I see I'm gonna have to make it again! Yours is superb! That collar is something I've adapted for other tops.

Thank you Moose Sky that was such a big compliment
This is my 4th dress and I made a few tops from this pattern. I love the collar so much!

This is wonderful with the cable knit! Good idea to line it so it won't cling.
  cleverkitty replied...(1/23/25 7:44 PM ET)
Thank you SewRosemary it needed to be lined also because you could see through it.

You wrote a review! Such a cute (and practical) dress. It looks so cozy. Wondering why I haven't made this pattern as it's in my stash.

Love this dress and how you've styled it! Just bought that fabric and I have that pattern. May need to put those together!

Thank you SchultzByrne beware the fabric depending on the color you got may need lining
