Dress or top, woven or knit

I made the River pattern as a dress in woven and a top in knit UK size 12. I do love a pattern that gives multiple options. Pockets in the dress are a welcome feature and I like the reversible V- neck or round neck options.

This is a reasonably straightforward make with clear instructions. Probably the first time I've managed to bind a knit neckline without getting it very misshapen. The style of sleeve also makes for easy assembly so all in all I'd recommend this for a beginner.
