Instructions
This dress is super easy to make. One tip I would suggest is to make it 1 size smaller than your measurements as there's quite a bit of ease in the design.I've blogged about it here http://allseamedup.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/vogue-1027-using-fabric-i-got-for.html

What was your inspiration?
I took the Craftsy Class - Sewing with knits and I've been hooked ever since. I can highly recommend this class especially if you fear knits or have always avoided them like I use to.
What are you most proud of?
That I completed it and it's definitely a dress I'll be getting a lot of wear out of.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
I would definitely recommend making this dress a size smaller than your actual measurements as there is a lot of ease built into this pattern. Next time I make this I will definitely make it a size smaller as it's a bit big on me... but that's OK.. it's super comfortable to wear.
I sewed in 1/2" clear elastic around the neckline which definitely seems to have helped stop it from gaping when I bend over as you can see in one of the pics I've shared.
