"River" dresses

[tictactoepony]

Both my vague attempts at Firefly costuming are complete - I wanted something to use for a River "Objects in Space" outfit (though I need my mum to make the crocheted top - I'll probably base it on Dragoncrafter's handy pattern).

Dresses are as follows:

• Dress 1 and a closeup
  
• Dress 2 and a closeup
  

Dress 2 is thinner and floatier and neckline uses bias binding, armhole edges hemmed. A right pain fiddling cutting it out so all the banded pattern is consistent between the 6 panels making up the dress.
Dress 1 is slightly heavier fabric, armholes done witrh bias binding (which led to a bulkier effect) and neck edge uses an inner facing including some iron-on interfacing. Neckline/general bodice area is thus a bit too big for me - not sure it really works. And I used every bit of the fabric I had so little scope for re-working.

Ideas/thoughts, in terms of what I should do or whether they work?

Dress 2 looks the best fit, especially if it's the floaty-er of the two.

Interesting - I had a suspicion you might prefer that one.

From how it turned out I think it might fit you better than me actually - so if you want to borrow, just ask ;)
