Here's the skirt and blouse that I made/am making for the wedding. I think the skirt needs some pressing. When I look at my profile in the mirror, all I notice is the gusset sticking out the back, just like a shark fin. I hope I can get that to relax into place!
Obviously the fabric does not have the drape that is needed for this pattern!
Okay, so I cut a triangle out of the back.
And it worked!
It doesn't have as much movement, but it's not really restrictive, either. so it works.
Shark fin is gone.
Woohoo!
I forgot to mention that the skirt is made with McCall's 5523, and the blouse is my second version of McCall's 6035. The first has roll-up sleeves and a collar; this one has short sleeves and just the collar band. I really like this pattern as it is comfortable and it fits and it feels good to wear something that I made and like!
It's cute! Great job!
