Would YOU like the red dress??

I was looking through my extensive stash of fabric to see what could be turned into a garment and I happened upon several yards of periwinkle knit. I don't remember where or when I purchased this, but now it sat there mocking me. Do I approach my fear of knits yet again, or do I leave it to sit in my collection for a few more years? Since my last knit dress turned out okay, I decided to tackle another one before I lost my nerve. This time I wanted to make a long sleeved version with a turtleneck, so my daughter could where it this winter. Surprisingly, it all went together very well, and here it is...
It's a little plain, but it will do. These knit dresses are more about comfort than fashion anyway.

Now, about the red dress from my last post. I tried the suggestion that a couple of you made about adding a waistband or sash of some kind. I found a nice color, made the band, sewed it on... but it just did not work. My waist is my biggest problem area, and having a band of color going around it didn't help matters any. So, that has been removed. When I had the dress on I also noticed that it felt really big on me. This was strange because I've made this dress several times before and it always fit really well. Well, I figured out the problem. I have this pattern in two different sizes, and I accidentally used the larger one. Altering the dress is more trouble than it is worth, so this is what I'm going to do. I would like to give this dress to one of you, my readers. I know the dress leaves a little to be desired, but with the right fashion sense I'm sure something could be done about that. It should fit someone who wears a dress size 10, or maybe 12. If you would like this dress I will mail it to you as my gift. Just leave me a comment saying you would like it. If more than one person shows interest, I will do a drawing of sorts. I hope I hear from someone!!
