Adventures in self portraiture.
I used a vintage jumper-style dress pattern for the fabric part of the dress and made up the crocheted bodice. My almost-five-year-old son said, "I'd like it better if the straps were narrower," which I thought was an astute critique.
I thought that I wasn't going to want to wear it until I put the t-shirt under it. Now I think it will be in normal rotation.

I am so glad I got to see this in action
today. As becktress says, it is a bit
dirndlesque, which is a good thing.

Thanks everyone. :)
Becktress: It's an expression I have for
myself if ever I were to wear something with
thin straps -- god forbid.

I'm sitting here at 8pm and my dress is
totally comfortable after a long day's wear.
There's definitely something to be said about
custom-fit clothing.

I love the colors, aqua and red, so bold and
striking. The dress looks great on you. Your
son has some fashion sense but wider straps
are way more wearable and it looks just right
with a tshirt underneathe. All the details
are so well done.
