Here is a dress I made a month or two ago. I'm really happy with how this one turned out and have worn it a few times already.
The pattern is McCalls 6740
The whole time I was sewing this, I was nervous - about the fit in the bust, about the fabric, about the mullet hem. In the end though, I'm so happy with it. The bust fit is great with the cup seaming, the fabric is comfortable and not wrinkly, and the hi-lo hem is really fun and unlike anything else in my wardrobe. I even like the super-gored skirt. It's not overwhelming as I feared it would be.
The fabric is a linen/rayon blend from JoAnns. I can't find it on the website anymore, so maybe it was seasonal.
Here it is paired with this cardigan when I was taking photos for the Artisan's Square SWAP contest that I forgot to enter!
I just signed up for Twitter under the name SSHandmadeJenny. If you're on Twitter, please let me know so I can follow you. I feel like a social media doofus over here. :-)
