 Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside the Hymn. You guys, we did it! It's the last Saturday in September, which means our Sew Along Saturday for National Sewing Month is coming to an end. We've been on quite the journey together this month. We picked out our fabric, analyzed and picked a size, cut everything out and sewed it all up and now we all have new dresses. So enough delaying, here is mine. To say that I love her is an understatement. This simple little dress is actually one of my favorite things I've sewn in months. I've worn this dress three times this week already. It is so comfortable and easy to wear. I just know I'll be reaching for it all fall long. So as you know, our pattern is McCall's 7991. The website describes this dress as a close-fitting dress with a faux wrap bodice with band and elasticized waist. View A has a narrow hem armhole finish. View B has a long sleeve and View C has three-quarter sleeves with band. There's also two skirt options, a full circle skirt and a fitted skirt. I made the bodice of View C with the skirt of View A. One of my initial concerns with any wrap bodice is how revealing it will be. If the wrap crosses over the bust too low, then you'll be showing a lot of cleavage, which isn't very comfortable for me. However, as you can see, M7991 crosses over pretty high on the chest. It creates a nice v-neck that's still flattering without showing too much. I will say though that when sitting or slouching, the relaxed nature of the bodice does cause it to fall open. It's a super easy fix though, with a little snap along the band. The grown-on or dolman sleeve is such a fun design. I don't have many garments with this sleeve in my closet and that's going to change. It's so comfortable to wear and gives the dress a casual, cool look that I'm really into these days. The skirt is a full circle skirt, which creates a super swingy dress that I love. I wish it were a couple of inches longer, but circle skirts can only be so long because of how wide they are. They can really only be as long as your fabric is wide, if that makes sense. I'll illustrate this in an upcoming Tuesday toot, so stay tuned for that. For fabric, I used a double brushed polyester from Joanne. When I posted my teaser photo on Instagram last week, the pattern designer commented to say she almost used this exact fabric for the pattern photo shoot, which I think is so cool. It really gave me that validation that this fabric was the right choice for this dress and also that the print was something that was cool and trendy and fashionable. The double brushed poly is so soft and it's a little insulating too, which will be nice when the temperatures drop. I'll definitely be making another version of this dress soon, so stay tuned to see how that comes together. I'm thinking I'm going to stick with the circle skirt, but make the long sleeve version. I cannot wait to see how all of your dresses turned out, so please tag me wherever you share your makes. I'm at Inside the Hymn everywhere. Thank you so much for coming along with me on this sew-along. I've really enjoyed it, and I love my dress, which is just the icing on the cake. So thank you so much for watching. I've got a playlist just for this sew-along, so be sure to check out the other three videos in this series if you haven't already, and that's going to do it for me today. I will see you all again very soon. Bye!
