<p>Thanks so much everyone.... I've worn it a couple of times but find I'm overing up the neck with a scarf and my partner told me I look matronly... *smack*!</p>

<p>I'm going to unpick the sleeves and shorten them up a bit. I'm toying with removing the collar too..... I'll re-post the finished (again) version.</p>

I like that you're widening the neck. I'd also take off the ribbing on the sleeve, turn under the hem and thread 6mm elastic through. It'd still give the puffy look but be a bit shorter & cleaner. Then I also like Cathes idea of trying a wider, higher belt. Nice fabric.

Only an idea, but I think it might look good if you took off the ribbing on the sleeves and just made them into regular ones - at the moment the gathered in effect seems to make the top half of the dress look a bit small and constrained... Only an idea though.
