FO: McCall's M6713

完成！
この前の写真とあんまり変わらないけど、裾の始末をしたのでひざが見えるぐらいになりました。
そして外出前なので一応サンダルも履いてるし。

よく見えないけど、一応上身ごろはラップドレス状態です。
出来上がったオットの感想：「腕の贅肉どうにかしたほうがいいよ」
・・・服の感想じゃないし。
っていうか、こうして写真で見てみたら、マジで腕やばいですね？アラフォー、イェイ。

Finished McCall's M6713.
View A minus shoulder pads, flouncy thing, and waist elastic.
Cut size 12, but probably can go down to 10 or even 8 next time considering the amount I took in.
Added a dart to back neck to eliminate back neck gaping.
Raised armholes about an inch.
The back bodice sagged quite a lot (or possibly because the size is too big for me and because of my sway back) so cut off about 1.5 inch each from both back bodice and back skirt.
Hemmed at 18.5 inches from the floor with blind hem stitch.

The boob coverage is surprisingly good. If I'm standing, the weight of the skirt pulls the bodice down nicely to fit over my almost non-existing boobs, but if I'm sitting on a couch or something, the overlaps do get baggy so I hand sewed a couple of inches at the overlap to secure.

Also, I cut the bodice pieces backwards accidentally so it is wrapping left side over right side.
But since I always think that right side over is for dead people in Japan, I like this way better (as if since when am I religious).

Since I did not add the flouncy thingy, I should have combined the center skirt patterns and make it as one piece. Now I have an unnecessary seam line going down off center in the front.
Well, I guess if that's the case, next time, I will probably cut the back skirt piece on fold and cut 2.
The fabric was very slinky (poly) but at least the print is busy enough that it masks the wonky seams.

I am very happy with this dress. Good beginner dress that looks complicated (but not).
I would love to make another one again.
