Knit dress for me and modeled Mr Greenjeans

I've done a few woven wrap dresses that have worked out ok. But I've really been craving a comfy cute knit dress that was a bit sexy but still wearable :blush:

I made a first attempt in um August? probably even earlier. It was very eye opening and depressing and overwhelming. I finally worked up the courage to try the changes I needed to make. I narrowed the shoulders and did a full bust adjustment (though not very well). It took some creative pleating to make the dress actually go together on the bodice. I know what I have to change which is good.

The knit is a rayon from fabric.com pattern is Simplicity 3678 view A
And a modeled pic of my Mr. Greenjeans
