 Hi you guys! It's Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel. Inside the hem, I have been dying to show you guys this dress as I love it so much. I got so many compliments the day I wore it. One woman even asked me if she could just have it right off my back. So without further ado, here are all the details about this awesome dress. The fabric is the most expensive I've ever owned and it was a gift from my boyfriend for our nine-year anniversary. It came from a shop on St. Hugh Bear Street in Montreal. Similar to B&J or Elliott Beerman in New York City, everything is designer, luxurious, and super expensive. This particular fabric is a twill blended from silk and cotton. The watercolor flowers are printed on one side. They had three colorways to choose from but I had to have this one with the vibrant purples, blues, and lime green. Given that this was such a special fabric both for its value and also its sentimentality, I knew I needed to do something special with it. I knew the stability of the fabric would hold up well to a fit and flare style and I figured a circle skirt would show the flowers the best. So I decided on McCall's 6887. This pattern is now out of print but you can still find it on Amazon and eBay in limited quantities. The dress has a lined bodice, princess seams, scoop neckline, and a center back zip. I opted to add the sleeves which ended up being a bit of a mistake. You can see here that the sleeves were not drafted well and there's not enough ease in them for my shoulder. Either that or the shoulder seam isn't long enough and that's causing this seam to write up. To any of y'all know what's going on for sure, I muscled in this bodice but didn't muslin the sleeves. Shame on me. So the only hashtag make it work solution I can think of is to chop off the sleeve and make this a sleeveless dress. No biggie. I'm pretty confident that once I do this it will also eliminate the large fold on my chest and the gaping neckline. The sleeves are just pulling this dress in every direction. Other than the sleeves though, I think this pattern is really great. Other variations in the pattern include a low back cut out and a semi-fitted straight skirt. And can we talk for a minute about the shoes I'm wearing? They are blue suede that I got on clearance at the Cole Hawn Outlet. Aren't they a perfect match for this dress? I love when a shoe and a fabric find each other. It's fashion fate. Anyway I hope you like this dress as much as I do. I had a really great time making it and loved all the lingering stairs and compliments I got when I wore it. Well that's it for today. Follow me on Instagram to see this sleeveless update. And until next time, bye!
