I suppose the question is, does this dress look exactly like the velvet version?
And yes, it's pretty obvious, right down to coordinating color stories.
But honestly, I don't mind having two of these dresses in my wardrobe.
What I found interesting is that I didn't notice that extra length just above the back waist with that velvet fabric.
If I look really, really closely at the photos of the velvet dress, I can see a small bit of wrinkling, but that might be due to the rotation or angle of my body. It could also have something to do with the fact that the velvet fabric is slightly more slick than the interior of this sweater knit.
I don't work with knit fabrics all that often, and I did contemplate doing a flat back adjustment or a swayback adjustment, but decided that since there was no waist level seamline, it would be unnecessary.
Seeing these photos, perhaps one of those alterations would improve the wrinkling at the back waist. Then again, maybe I'm overthinking it.
Because this really is an incredibly comfortable and easy to wear dress, and I am certainly happy to have it in my closet, with or without a few fit wrinkles.
The dress is gorgeous and in my favorite color. You wear it well!
