empire cross-over dress

Here is my empire cross over dress which started as a blouse. The back is the tunic shirt because it has two long darts in back. I added flare in the hips on front and back. I had made a couple of tops with this pattern combination so I knew it would work and it did. I lengthened it 18" and I had a dress. I took up the back darts and sides at the waist just a bit. It is neither too loose or too tight and slips easily over my head. I added a length of elastic under the bust to snug it up a little. There are no closures needed in this dress.......

Linda -- in your original post, click Modify in the upper right hand corner to try to add the pics to that post. In the second post you can click Remove and get rid of that one.
Not sure what to advise about actually attaching the pics.
