Obsessed with this dress

Here I go again with this dress. Because I am a when I find something I like, I love it. Hubby and I had an Anniversary celebration to attend on Saturday, it was semi formal. Although I had several dresses I could have worn, I wanted to make this dress(again) but didn't have enough fabric to do the sleeves:). So I decided to make it sleeveless. Lucky for me. I always love these types of sleeves. Donna Karen says that a woman's shoulders never gain weight. I received so many complements on it. Again it took me about an hour.
Hubby looks so handsome

DVF wrap dress

I have wanted one of Diane's wrap dresses for ages.
 I have gone in the stores Neiman, Nordstroms etc. trying on different versions. They just never looked quite right on me. I was going through my pattern stash looking for something to make. I came across 4 wrap like patterns. I went on pattern review to see which ones worked the best. I decided to go with McCalls 5974 . I have made 2 in 2 days.
I cant say enough about this pattern. I used my serger for the most part. Didn't use the industrial at all because my fabric was so stretchy on both dresses. I made some minor adjustments to accommodate the girls. Maybe this is the reason the ready to wear ones never fit. Now I am ready to make a real wrap...
