Hi guys!!!
About two months ago, I came across the a website with super cute clothes. Below is a sample of the dress (the version that I saw had black and white stripes on top and fuchsia pink on the bottom) that I absolutely adore and when I first saw it I hesitated to buy it. So a couple of weeks and it was sold out *grrrrrr*. I put my name on the email notification list but I never saw it again :(
So this now became my new mission. This dress is about $40, not including shipping, so out the door $50. This gave me a really good excuse to shop online at one of my fav places to buy knits online--- GirlCharlee.com
I was able to buy all the fabric for about half the cost and decided to sew my heart out.
Below is the McCall Pattern (M6744) that I bought at Joann's (on sale). I used pattern A with a long skirt option. I did not do the elastic belt because I was going to make a polka dot belt--- I will see later if I need to install it.
Below is the finished product. I would love to hear from you and your suggestions and thoughts. For those who sew, I am having issues with the weight of the skirt pulling the top and my arm openings seem to stretch throughout the day, so if you have some suggestions--- please feel free to post them.
Tadah!!!! I'm glad that I did this--- even after cutting the pattern out, I had to pull up the sleeves a lot ,modify my waist, and hem for my 5'2 figure.
