This is my second attempt at the Knot Dress from Pattern Magic Vol.1 It was easier to tackle second time round and the fabric was more suitable that my first attempt.
I made the bow longer and wider which gives the option of tying around the back

I like this one better than the brown! I guess it’s the fabric that makes it look better!! Good job :-))

I have the Pattern Magic books but haven’t tackled anything from there yet! I love your version more than the books as it is more versatile being able to wear it knotted at the back. I have quite a large chest and to tie a knot at the front would not be an option for me – if I feel brave enough to make this I will be making it like yours rather than the books! Thanks!

Thanks for that .I am quite large on top and although I love all of the patterns in Pattern Magic. I am quite conscious of too much going on in the chest area.
