This dress looks okay, but I already ripped off the top and I'm going to make a new dress that doesn't bug me so much. The bottom of the wraps stood out like wings on the hips (they are just pinned down here). It is made from scuba knit and it is way too thick for this pattern.

The fabric is from Minerva and luckily I had some spare fabric, just because the fabric is measured in meters, not yards. I took apart three dresses that I just did not like yesterday.
Since I have so much, if I don't love it, I need to fix it, give it away, or for a few items they are allowed to sit in the back of the closet for a year.

First pattern, don't like, Butterick pattern, love. The Butterick pattern has a nice flared skirt and the fit is much nicer.

Hello there! I'm kind of surprised, but I don't really like this dress. There is another pattern like this, but without the back drape and I like that one so much better. I took this dress in two times at the side seams before it looked half-way decent. Before the alterations it had two flappy things at the hipline, not a good look. But on the other hand how many times are things too big?

 The bad news I made a summer dress with this pattern and it probably has the same problems, but dealing with those will have to wait until later. At least it is comfortable.
