I would not call this dress I sewed a knockoff of anthropologie because it is not an exact replica, but more of an inspired by anthropologie look.
Here is the anthropologie dress that inspired me--the Ruffled Plaid dress

Here is the inspired version I sewed.

 I won't put all the sewing details here, but if you are interested, they are on my blog here

It looks great! I also love the fabric! I think you should shorten it a bit: you hvae good legs & it'll balance the proportion better: pin up 1 1/2-2" from the hem, see how it looks on you. I'd shorten it.

IMO the length is good now - I think it would be cute shorter but I think it's just as cute at this length

Love it! I'm in awe of your seamstress skills - I can barely sew a button back on!
