McCall 6249

Hey there! I's time for my weekly girly outfit, so here's McCall 6249, a 1945 dress pattern that is among the most beautiful I've ever seen! Have a look:


I made view B with short sleeves (not shown here), as I managed to lose the instructions I had a brief wth moment to attach the front yokes to the bodice but I finally got it. However I didn't pay attention to the fact that I was sewing the darts as usual on the inside when they were supposed to appear outside... Next time I'll be careful :) The finished garment:

My usual "arms-crossed-in-the-back" pose doesn't work out that well with the keyhole opening :(


It's, erm, yellow cotton as you can see and I finished the inside with some cuuuute lace.


Now, for your information, I live in a French-speaking country but of course we also have our local language, creole, and one of my favourite expressions is the one used to describe see-through garments: television^^. Well, this is a television dress so I had to make a quick half-slip to wear underneath -I folded in two a rectangle of peach polycotton before encasing an elastic at the waist.


That's it for today, see you soon!

  3. It's beautiful, I love that it is yellow. You should wear skirts and dresses more than once a week, they are too lovely to be kept hidden away.

  4. I am seeing some lovely yellow dresses and skirts around the blogosphere lately and it makes me so excited that we are heading into summer here in Australia. And that's a big deal because I usually hate summer.
