The dress I have to show you today is a knit dress that is so very easy to wear. Knit fabric and no zipper, short and flirty. Here it is.
To make this dress, I lengthened all the pieces by 14 " and it falls just at my knee. ( I'm 5'4 1/2" tall).
I piped the neckline and sleeve edges with the curled selvedge of my knit fabric ( Poly-lycra)
I should add that the neckline on my tops and this dress has been lowered so that is another change I made to the pattern.
I wore this dress to a casual wedding last night . It was hot and humid but I was comfortable and cool.

Beautiful! What a clever idea and the perfect fabric.
Love this dress!
I agree great idea resulting in a beautiful dress
Love the fabric.
It's very pretty on you. These types of easy breezy dresses are my favorite things to wear during the summer.
That's just lovely.
Diana, I think you must mean the dress is 4'4 1/2" long, that is not your height! I have met you in person and you are not a midget!
Your dress is lovely.
You look so lovely!
This dress looks good on you. I love the fabric you choose.
I read your post first on my phone but didn't leave a comment. Glad to see that you are 5'4 and not 4'4 - you don't look teeny tiny. Exactly my height! Anyway, the dress looks lovely on you.
T-riffic dress! I really like the Giorgio's top and intend to order the pattern when Peggy has a sale. It worked into a dress just beautifully. I would like one below hip length.
