Really cute! I'm curvy, so I wasn't sure how your first dress would look on someone like me. I find this one more appealing because of the curves it has.
Great work!

What's the sizing on these?
No offense meant but they look doll size in the pictures.

A G used to be my favorite but now I just a K or M or a lot of projects. I love super bulky yarn.

They're a good way to get started, but I can think of a few things to make them more marketable. I'm going to link you a picture of a crocheted dress on Ravelry that I thought was pretty (and simple). The black dress that you had made is nice, but looks like beach wear at best. Changing the stitch pattern to something more elegent and adding coverage to the chest of the person wearing it would definitely make it easier to wear as an every day piece of clothing.

I would suggest looking over dress construction, finishing techniques, shapes and styles. Shaping the dress, knowing how to crochet parts in the round so there's no seams running up the back or side, all of this can help you to improve.

Good luck and happy hooking. :]
