 Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel. I'm so excited to show you my latest project because one it's beautiful and two it's an homage to my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. Art Gallery designer Amy Cinnabaldi took a cross-country adventure which brought her here to Charleston. She fell in love with our pastel painted homes, quaint cobblestone streets, and lush flower boxes which all helped to inspire this amazing new collection. And let me tell you, it's perfect. It captures Charleston beautifully without being too southern, too kitschy, or too in-your-face. I really see Charleston in each one of the fabrics. Art Gallery was kind enough to send me the fabric of my choice and I could not resist Magnolia Nightfall in knit. In addition to this one, they have two other knits, a canvas, and two colorways of cottons, Sunset Harbor and Waterfront Park. The knits are as great as you would expect from Art Gallery. However, it did get a little fuzzy after washing and drying, so maybe air dry to prevent that. The fabric is super easy to work with. I sewed a lot of this dress on my regular sewing machine and only used the serger for the site seems really. I used a size 80 stretched needle and regular old polyester thread with no issues. The pattern, which is McCall's M7350, is a great sew. There are stay pieces for the bodice and the waistband, which means that only the outer fabric is gathered. On the inside, the dress looks completely clean with no gathers. I love that detail. I normally have to pinch out half an inch or so from McCall's patterns on the center front of the bodice, but this one needed even more than that. I ended up pinching out close to one inch to get the neckline to lay flat. The only thing this pattern is missing are some bra strap concealers. The shoulder straps are so pretty, but it's impossible to keep your bra straps in without some concealers. They are super easy to add yourself. I just hadn't done it before I wore this dress for the first time. I didn't even realize that the bra straps would show. Either way, let me know if you want a tutorial on adding your own bra strap concealers to any garment. It's very figure flattering though, and I love how big the skirt is. I can't wait to wear this dress all around town and proclaim my love for this wonderful city. Thanks so much for watching. Bye.
