Hello, everyone!
Wanted to share one of my most recent makes, McCall’s 7625 which came out for Early Fall 2017 ☺️ It was originally released back around 1955!
I was actually suuuuper hesitant about the drop waist on this piece, but to be honest, it worked out. I suspect that its because of the fisheye darts at the natural waist line, which helped nip in the design.
Anyway, I’m really happy with how it turned out overall and am looking forward to making the short sleeve version for an upcoming trip.
Definitely check out the video series I did for this pattern, though, especially since I ended up tackling a full bust adjustment on this piece (princess seams AND fisheye darts?! Yes.)– my video series also went into the how-to-sew for this pattern, in case you’re thinking of making it.
A lovely dress! Digging the details on the waist for sure.
Wow! Good job! It looks a lot like the vintage pattern I made, McCall’s 3839 a while ago, only this one doesn’t appear to have the yoke at the shoulder.
