So, this dress was supposed to be finished back in September to wear for Mr. Social's birthday. And, yeah, that didn't happen. But I did get to wear it today!
I've made McCall's M6741 again, this time without pockets, or adding a collar of my own. I kinda love this pattern, and expect I'll end up making it a few more times, as it's a super simple dress that can work in any fabric and for any occasion. The cut is flattering for a number of body types, and the skirt has a perfect amount of flare.
The one thing I will do the next time I make this dress is make it a wee bit longer. I made it the length of View A without the bottom panel, and it's.....really short. I'm a short person and didn't expect it would be that short, but hey, live and learn. It's not so short that I can't wear it, but just short enough that I will never be able to bend over in public while wearing it :P
Until soon! xoxoxo
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI only just found your blog as I was looking for pics of the M6741. I love both your versions of the dress. This has persuaded me to move the pattern to the top of my sewing list. And can I just say that the goth cupcake fabric and the peter pan collar of the other version are too cute.

Thank you so much! You are too sweet :)
DeleteI can't wait to see your version!
