Wow, just beautiful. This is by far the prettiest knit dress I have seen. I would love to make one however, I need to follow a pattern.
Smashing -- well played. Tasteful, timeless, and badass, the perfect equation.
the dress looks incredible on you!!! I was also thinking about knitting an "Audrey dress" and you convinced me a 100%! Thanks for all the tips about making it to your measurements!!! I will be starting soon :)
Wow wow wow. Exceptional in every way🎉
STUNNING!
I'm planning on knitting a dress soon so this episode was super helpful, thank you.
Brilliantly stunning!

AMAZING! And that show. I mean it’s the Queen so didn’t expect anything less but wooooowwwww 😍😍😍
This came out so pretty - you've inspired me to make one!
Awesome Job!! The dress looks amazing on you and the color definitely works! Thanks for the tips about the yarn. I have same yarn and unsure what to make with it but I am now considering the Audrey top😊
Melissa, your dress turned out beautifully! Well done! This was such a fun video to watch - seeing your progress and your decisions along the way etc. I love how you always recap the process - what worked, what you might change next time, etc. I think the dress fits you perfectly, and the silver/gray is a good color on you, too. All around success!
This is amazing! Great job 😍

You did an amazing job! Such a good idea to turn the top into a dress. Glad you had fun at the concert. We went in July and it was amazing!
What an ambitious project ! You did a wonderful job 🤩! I also modified a sweater pattern to turn it into a dress. It worked nicely ! Thank you for this video !

Yaaass! But also, don't worry if you can't finish it on time. My Audrey was fingering held double and that made it a quicker knit.
This is amazing, Mel! Kudos to finishing it so quickly. I love the shaping you added to the hips and bottom area. I always toy with the idea of elongating camis but I never know how best to do it. Your explanation is great maybe if I gain the confidence I could do it! 🌟

Thanks so much! 😊 You can totally do it! Blocking as I went and trying it on a lot were definitely key in getting the right fit. I'm usually not a mid-project block type but it worked great for me especially since I used silk.
Wow Mel, your dress turned out fabulous! ✨ Hope your wrists are okay too. Dress + comfy sneakers combo is where it’s at. 😆
