McCall's 6744 Done but not for the Wedding.

I was so excited about my cousins wedding this past weekend.  I picked a pattern Simplicity 2281

and fabric a few weeks ago and was ready to sew it up last week, but assisting my very ill sister kept me from getting it started.   So I chose another pattern that I thought would be quicker  M6744, but needless to say I did not get that finished either before I had to leave for South Carolina.  So I ended wearing a dress I made a few months ago, M6700. 

 

I got a lot of  compliments on my M6700 dress so I was pleased, though the shoes I initially chose to wear with the dress fell apart.  They were my favorite dressy dress shoes and they died on me after 10 long years.  Thank God I had a decent backup.  A little too casual but I had no choice, so they worked.

 

After returning from the wedding, I finished M6744 and I can't wait for an opportunity to wear it.  Here goes:

I am so very pleased at how it turned out.  I love this pattern. 

Maxi it is! McCalls 6700

I'm on the Maxi dress bandwagon.  I have always loved them, but I had convinced myself that my 5'1" frame was a little short and I looked dumpy in a Maxi.  I actually love the way this one fits and even more than that I love the color and how easy it was to construct.  I will be making this again, or another Maxi, as I am now officially a Maxinista!

Happy Sewing!
