DIY McCalls Pattern 7243 Second Version


Hey Ladies,

Ok, soooooooo I like this so much that I made number 2! Yes this is my second version so I won't write a complete write up on this. I believe this style dress can be for any shape worn with the right type shape ware. Yeah, you need it.


I added a few notes worth while mentioning with making the second version. 

Here's the link to the first one made.

Fabric Used: Grape Wine Ponte De Roma Knit from Low Price Fabric

Pattern Cut in Size: 16 versus 20  McCalls 7243
 this time around so I didn't have any alterations. I did add 3 inches to the length, it's just too short for me.  I left everything unhemmed, is unhemmed a word?  I don't know but what I do know, in order to pull this unhemmed thing off, cutting your fabric MUST be on point. Please ladies no jagged edges if you plan on not hemming this! Maybe I should do a tutorial on cutting fabric? Let me think about that one.

Accessories:
 Long Nine West Boots (old), tights from Wal-Mart and Ralph Lauren neckless and earring set (old) but I just went to the Polo store with my hubby and they still have the set and in gold plated.

I'm putting this pattern up for now, I've made two and that's plenty for me but don't hold me to it!


Checking out and we'll chat later!

Are you making it work for you?
