This is my favorite dress...period. I have 5 of them now. I always get compliments when I wear one of them. I am always comfortable in them. It seems this one (as well as the other one) that's new for Fall/Winter 2017 are made from a slightly better fabric than some of the past dresses. I'm SO glad to see this. I have compared past dresses to "only slightly heavier than pantyhose." The heavier fabric is much better. (Don't get me wrong, this dress still flows and hangs beautifully!!!) I would like to recommend making it in a black and white hounds tooth pattern or a polka dot pattern, so those who work in an office setting could wear this wonderfully comfortable dress to work. Your patterns are a little loud for an office setting. Also, I am 5'1" tall, and the dress hits me right under my knee.
