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.

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
