You can never have enough Little black dresses. Never!
This is another addition to my wordrobe and most recent make. I am consciously deciding to use the sewing patterns I already have and slow down on buying new patterns. So I present to you McCalls M7429(Out of Print).
Now let me tell you about this pattern! Its cute right! The twist front just accentuates the waist and gives a great silhouette right? Yah! that twist was a nightmare to work with smh. I tried to read through the instructions and I was left more confused than I started. I eventually threw the instructions away. Lay my pieces down and started to figure out and manipulate the twist. I eventually figured out something that worked for me and voila!
Even though the rating for this pattern is easy..the front twist makes it a bit complicated. Anyways I am glad I pushed through.
Here is my pattern review and some pictures. Don’t mind the bare feet and my little partner who insisted on taking the pictures with me. He would run to the spot I was taking a picture at every time the self timer went on smh. Life!!
