On the Neiman's and Saks websites and in the latest Newport News catalogs I've been seeing some cute knit dresses. Now the NN dresses aren't particularly expensive, as a matter of fact they are really affordable, much cheaper than sewing. I think these are all around $30-$50, not bad. I just haven't been that impressed with a lot of my NN purchases -quality wise- plus they only offer a limited color selection.
The cool thing for me is that all of the dresses in my faves list can be made using currently available patterns or a combo of! Check em out...
Vogue 8390 for the top OR Simplicity 4095 (modify top to a halter, also you can change the look w/ pants instead of the skirt!)
Simplicity 3775
& 
Simplicity 4577
HotPatterns HP101 OR HP102
Simplicity 3867
Some other cute summery knit dress patterns are:

I love that other people take some of the guess work out of pattern hunting for me! I am also really digging the knits. So easy and comfortable to wear and all over the magaines this summer. THANKS!
Cute, cute stuff! I have a couple of those patterns in my stash!
