Best Knit Dress Pattern for Summer

This was the first subscription pattern I ever started sewing up the same month I got it. I made the 16 E/F in a brushed polyester jersey. I lengthened the bodice by an inch out of concern that the bodice might be short in the larger cup size, but it was unnecessary and would have hit at my natural waist (hence the bit of extra fabric at the sides in the picture). I am 5'7" and the skirt is about midi length on me. The lined bodice has such a nice smoothing effect and I love how the optional bows keep my bra straps concealed. The instructions were great and it was a very pleasant sew. The only thing I deviated from in the instructions was adding gathering stitches to attach the skirt as it was a lot of fabric and I didn't want to overstretch the bodice.

I hacked this into a tank top

I have not made this pattern as drafted. I was excited to see an opportunity to get a knit tank top pattern in the 0-16 size band. I used the Concord t-shirt pattern to lengthen the bodice to turn it into a tank. It's not perfect, but I think with additional modifications it'll be very good. My main complaint is that the straps are a little too narrow for my ideal tank top. They did cover my bra straps, mostly, but I think a slightly wider strap will shift around less which will suit me better. At some point I may make the dress, but for now I'm happy to have a knit tank top pattern to play with.

Irving dress

My new favourite knit dress pattern. Made my standard length adjustments to the bodice length and it worked like a charm. The pockets are fabulous and stay put because of the design of incorporating them into the waist seaming. I'm cutting out a second one today and I'm sure it won't be the last as there ore so many mix a match opportunities with other Cashmerette patterns.
