I bought this dress at the JoAnn’s sale a while ago. This french terry knit I also bought from JoAnn’s. It’s one of those rare, quality knits from there. It’s red but with a little fleck of white or light gray.
Here’s my version. I like my skirts short but this one is a work dress and I wanted it a little bit longer. I made the teensiest, weensiest hem on this and it’s still a little on the short side. Wow, my hair is raggedy in this humid, rainy weather. I’ve been growing it out and I’m amazed how curly it is. Pre-kid I had very straight hair. Very. Straight.
I didn’t really have any fit problems. I probably could have done a little swayback alteration but I didn’t. See how wavy it is?? My hair, not my swayback.
Next up: I’m going to tackle one of those cowl-y patterns from the other day.

The dress looks really good on you, a little short like you said but still great.
Adorable Dawn! I can't believe how professional this looks! Fantastic!
Pretty dress! You're gorgeous in red!
Love this in red! I think this was short on me too, and I did a hem facing to save the length.
This is stunning on you! ~ Peggy

looks good. well done.
Short smort! You look great and your legs are amazing and the world can deal with it. You earn your legs with all your running. It's like getting your hair cut and dyed and styled and then putting a scarf over it. It wouldn't make ANY sense to do that.
Wow, that dress was made for you. It looks great!
That's one fabulous dress, love the colour. If you've got it flaunt it - I don't think your dress is too short.
Oh, I love this in red. Every time I see this pattern made up I like it more and more. Great job and it looks awesome on you!

This dress really suits you. The colour is great too. I think it is just long enough for work.

My hair is wavier post-baby too. Just last month I decided to stop fighting it with the flat iron and "embrace the waves". Your curls, and your new dress, look good!
