RTW dress

I really like this dress and I've been looking for fabric similar. I did buy some fabric earlier this year and I've made a dress very similar with an old Palmer Pleitsch, which when it finished up just looks like it. So I don't think I'll pay £90 for the pleasure of no work.

Just out of curiosity has anybody done the dress with the lower neckline. Is it very low?

Are they kidding £90 for a simple little dress, it's nice but no way worth that. Good on you for copying it, now what are you going to do with the money you've saved yourself?

Yes
@sewmuchmore
I do have the pattern. It was one of the first knit dresses I made, it was that stuff where sort of frill was sewn all over the fabric. It actually looked okay apart from the fact that it was too short (on 5ft 3), so it got dumped. Luckily I hadn't sent the pattern to the charity shop.
What I do like is that you have a choice of putting darts in or leave plain. There are a few similar ones at the moment, some just re-badged with different picture and number.
