McCalls 6957: White Linen with Modifications


Very Simple but elegant Linen Dress.  This dress is a custom order from a client  that I modified per her specifications.  I will provide pictures when she wears it and send them to me.  I have made another version of  this pattern a several times, the swing dress in royal blue.  So the pattern was familiar and easy to modify.  I actually would like to make this dress for myself using the specifications I made for her.
Modifications:

a.  Raised Neckline 3 inches
b.  Squared body from underbreast
c.  Widened back bottom and "v"'ed (instead of rounded bottom) to increase flare.  

That is it in a nut shell. 


Let it all flow!  Crisp White Linen.  Details on the blog, blog address in profile  #Itsmelaniedarling #CustomHousedesigns #seamstress #sewing #sewist #sewcialist #sewingblogger #asewinglife #imakemyownclothes #imadethis #diy #diyer #diystyle #diyfashion


Happy Sewing!
