These came out great! I've made three Swirlalike dresses this summer, and they're so much fun to wear. I'm wearing my blue one now.HomesteadHattie said:Here are two Swirl-inspired dresses I made from a $5 1980s pattern found on Etsy. I discovered that there are lots of wrap dress patterns out there from all decades, and they all have the same general silhouette and BIG pockets!
I made the light purple one with I Love Lucy's Ethel Mertz in mind, since I noticed that many of her housedresses had some kind of strange neckline detail.
The orange one is just a great kitchen/garden/housework dress! The pockets are vintage veggie-print fabric cut from a fat quarter bought on Etsy.
Thank you ladies, for inspiring me!

I have a fit question and wonder if anyone can help me. I have a swirl, and everything seems to fit well, except that when I button it, it gapes a little in the middle of my back--the material bunches up a bit kind of like there's some excess, and it won't lie flat. Am I just not tying it right or do you think it really just doesn't fit well?
I know I probably overpaid for it, but really just fell in love with the dress. If it just doesn't fit, I might have to let it go. I don't think it's the bust. Does anyone else ever have this problem? Help with this would be much appreciated. Here's the dress:
