Hi there. Remember when I said I wanted to make McCalls 7391 after I finished my lace-up tee? Well, I did it. The fabric is a navy linen/rayon fabric from JoAnn Fabrics. The laces are a braided rope-like trim, also purchased from JoAnn, but I can't find it online. I also stitched the trim right on top of my hem stitching, and I love the extra pop. The eyelets are the exact same ones I used for my tee linked above.
Ok enough talking. Here it is:
I found the fit to be ok for me. Of course I did not make a muslin. :-) I ended up adjusting the side seams a bit - taking them in at the bust and letting them out at the hips. Taking it in at the bust made my armholes a bit smaller, and they are perfect now. If I hadn't needed the adjustment, I may have found the armholes a bit low.
This design has a subtle shirttail hem. Very nice.
This has a loose fit, but I don't think it is unflattering. It skims the curves and is very comfortable on a hot day.
I machine-stitched the trim at the hem with a simple straight stitch down the middle. I am so glad I didn't hand-stitch it on. It looks just fine and was much faster!
