Dress Issues

So Im trying to create a dress for myself to wear to numerous events this fall.  Unfortunately,  this seems to be a tough order.  Not due to lacking abilities but my own self views. 
After deciding on a style (and boy did that take time!) I found a pattern to use as a base for the vest part and draped the rest.  Then I stitched together my muslin and tried it on.  All I could think was yuck! I have a bit of a belly from having a baby but Im ok with that. Well the dress wasn't.   Sure I can fix that but Im not sure I want to.  I just didn't care for the way it looked on me.  Too business-y? Too stiff? Maybe its the muslin.  I just dont know.  What I do know is that I need to stop and decide later. Hopefully time can help me figure out if I should go back to this dress or try something different.
Oh yeah...the picture shows it in progress of being draped.  It's been more refined since then and sewn.
