Is there anything like a dress pattern crush?<\/strong> – all seamstresses will reply in unison \u00ab of course\u00ab !!! Anyway that\u2019s exactly what I felt when I first saw McCall\u2019s M7995 dress<\/a><\/strong>, released as part of their last A\/W collection – too quirky for a long-term relationship, but definitely too attractive not to make one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My crush was made even worse when I saw Zoubi Zoubisou\u2019s<\/a> version on Instagram. The fabric contrast was such a genius idea, I had to have the same!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a couple of months looking for the appropriate fabric, I actually… found it in my stash! Do you remember this dress? – I never posted specifically about it but it was part of my brocart frenzy 18 months ago.<\/a>..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had a bit left of this beautiful brocart for the body of the dress (you need very little if you\u2019re not adding the sleeves, something like 70cm!); and I miraculously found a matching shiny pink crepe<\/a> on the Croftmill website, for the bottom ruffle and the bow (I bought 1m) – we had a deal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Based on the finished measurements of the bust indicated on the enveloppe, I cut a size S, which seem fine even with my E-cup – but I stupidly lowered the sleeve opening by 1.5cm, which I always do with McCall patterns but shouldn\u2019t have done with this one – oh well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a bit of a struggle with the instructions for the collar<\/strong>, in particular about where you should leave an opening to slip-in the back and front of the dress when you link collar and body. To avoid that, I strongly suggest you write this down on your pattern before cutting and sewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This dress is definitely a winter and mid-season piece for me<\/strong>, so I layer it with my beloved M&S thermals and opaque tights; and it is – obviously – fully lined<\/strong>! Here is how I did it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/ I cut the two body pieces of the dress both in the main fabric and in the lining fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2\/ I then sew both the main fabric dress and the lining dress by the sides – ending-up with two bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3\/ I attached the two by the armhole openings; trimmed the sewing allowance at the curves; and overstitched it to the lining fabric, so that it would not show from the outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s it! I\u2019m very pleased with this little number and I am now thinking about a summer version in fine cotton… Typical!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
