DIY dress - McCall's pattern M6789

By on 12:31 PM
Made this awhile back but never posted it.

McCall's pattern M6789

I adapted it to an A-line, and did not add peplums or use contrast.  Just wanted a simple look.

 

 I'm not quite sure why the back bunches a bit - maybe the back bodice is a little long for my torso?  I still think it turned out really well.  I learned how to insert a lining, understitch, and French tack.
