The Road to a #MeMade Wardrobe:  McCall’s 6891

PhotoGrid_1575614769254.jpg

I saw this pattern for a super simple shirt dress.  But when I first looked at it, I immediately imagined it in a rich, beautiful fabric worn to a sexy event.  So I went on the hunt for some super lush fabric.  However, during a trip to Michael Levine, I found this vibrant poly sateen blend fabric in their high value section.  I ‘m pretty sure I didn’t pay more than $10 for it. Talk about a steal!

Pattern: Misses' Shirtdresses and Sash

Fabric: Michael Levine High Value Fabric

Style: Shirt Dress

Vintage/Contemporary:  Contemporary

Pattern Edits:

1. The hem was super weird and funky, it wasn’t so much because of the pattern, but more so the fabric. So I edited the pattern to match the fabric better.  I needed to add sa few centimeters to the hem at the center front to make it work.

Lessons Learned:

1. Sometimes cheap fabrics look amazing if they’re a little bit shimmery and shiny.
