Just sewed it up last night. Fabric is a wonderful rayon/cotton ribbed jersey with a medium weight drape. The dress is cut to be reversible so the vent can either be worn in the front or back.

Simple and elegant.. I like it.
Same worry about flashing my junk but I've been looking for a long shirt like this for a while.

Critiqued the design and sewed it together the other night. Lengthened the hemline, dropped the vent lower so that it can truly be called a dress, and did a different technique for merging the two front panels with a central narrow piece of fabric. Also, the neck line is raised so when worn (although it doesn't look it now due to the heavy drape on the hanger) it will resemble a mock turtle/stovepipe neckline. All hems and facings were sewn on with a twin needle to imitate a coverstitch machine, which is on my sewing wish list at the moment). Material is the same: cotton/rayon rib

I was actually looking for something along those lines to make some good turtlenecks, and I found some really cool ones. They have a very Juliusish med thickness plaster colored rayon/silk knit that would be incredible for sweater pieces. But yeah, check it out, I never leave that place empty handed
