First, thanks to all who gave me suggestions on skipped stitches. I decided to reduce the stitch length to 2.5 and that helped. Another suggestion was using a stretch needle which I was already using. The other thing I did was to slow down my sewing speed. In addition to this while pulling fabric taut while sewing, I put more pressure on fabric behind the presser foot than in front and that seemed to help also. I still had a few skipped stitches but much better than before.
The dress is complete. I truly love the fit of the dress and the style. Unfortunately I was not able to take photos last night of the completed dress; hope to do so tonight. The dress has a real "mod 60's" look to it. I like the dress so much that I am planning a second dress from it.
