I just had to try the Anthropologie dress again in a blue/black stripe from my stash.
This time:
1: I’ve overlocked the edged and added some differential feed for the waviness where the sections meet. That way you can see the changes in stripes.
2: The neck edge and hems are zigzagged.
The fit is the same and from DH’s look, it does fit well – and he was engrossed in watching sport at the time.

I love it! What a fantastic job you've done.

Another great version, and the stripes are more obvious this time.

I think when you find a dress you love and feel good in it deserves to be made at least twice. Great dresses and now you know you have two things in your wardrobe you can just pull on and feel confident.

I have just seen a cap sleeve version of this dress and bravely put up a blog post about how I would like to knock it off! Your versions look fabulous!
