I made a dress for myself just a couple weeks ago. My daughter loved it and wanted one of her own. I wasn't going to because there were so many other things I wanted to make for her but then I saw this
all my plans changed.
I essentially traced the front and back of a tank that fit her well and then lengthen it based on how the Mission Maxi pattern does.
Then I found this tutorial on how to make the asymmetrical hem. I think that it could be higher in the front and longer in the back, But....
You know the measure twice cut once. I did that. Its still too short in the back and I think that I need to hem it still. Arrggh.
Here is mine that I made. It is the Mission Maxi dress. Its the third time I have made it.
Here are the other two dresses I made this week.
A simple dress with beautiful fabric.
You can never go wrong with a little Oliver&S, Hopscotch Knit Dress.
I had lots more planned but a night in the emergency room with the two year old for stitches on the chin. A night up at Disneyland (so fun!) and pure exhaustion has kept it limited. I do think I may have a bit more in me for Sunday night if I can really be efficient. Or maybe not.
I hope your KCWC was all you had hoped. Cheers to getting the laundry done.

Very cute maxi dresses! Both are beautiful. And I like the length for your daughter's- perfect for a young lady.
Thanks. I think your right. I also hemmed it a bit and it hangs better without curling:-)
