The McCall’s dress is complete except for hemming. I will not be keeping the dress as I just don’t like the look of it. Even using a size 12 in shoulder/upper chest area, the neckline is just not flattering on me.
I just did not feel like handling it again and trying to make it work. I am just not feeling the love to continue to work on it.
So I am moving on to the next project. This will be Butterick dress and jacket. It is Butterick 5460. I plan to use this fabric acquired from EOS earlier this year.
The jacket will be made from this fabric, a silk rayon purchased from Sawyer Brooks in January or February.
I cut out the pattern and pin fitted it to determine adjustments needed. Of course the usual swayback and FSA were necessary. I also needed 1.5 inch FBA. I also added some width to the front armsyce area as I did not like how the sleeveless area was sitting at the front.
I have the thread, the zipper and I am ready to go.
Oh darn, sorry the dress did not work out. I'm with you, if it doesn't work out, move on. I do love your fabrics for the upcoming project!

ReplyDeleteSo much for the last one, but the next one looks like it will be a keeper! Pretty fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh well! At least you are decisive and move on. When it happens to me, it derails my sewing mojo. Onward to the next project! Beautiful fabrics.
