The pattern is McCall's 8042 also known as #MiaMcCalls - a loose-fitting, gathered drawstring neckline, and view A has a sleeve ruffle, my make is View A.
The front slit is low and I wished I had studied the pattern envelope a bit more..... take a look
That is a tiny part of the reason I kept the neckline tighter but the big reason, I just like the neckline that way.
At Sew Expo, I purchased this beautiful Print Mix Spring Floral Rayon Challis from Style Maker Fabrics. Michelle had it made up as the Wilder Gown by Friday Pattern Co made up in this challis and it was beautiful. In fact, this McCall's pattern and the Wilder Gown look very similar, just check out the neckline.
The drawstring does help to hide the low opening, so that is a good thing!
Initially, I was going to make the long sleeve, I am so happy I didn't do that, the sleeve ruffles are perfect for the fabric and a spring look.
Here is the back
Once you get past the neckline and the gathers, the rest of blouse goes together quickly. I went with the finished measurements and made the small. The small is just right in the shoulders, bust, waist but then really tapers in at the hips. I shortened mine and then the hips were just fine.
Go and get this pattern, you will love it. I am already planning several more. I think we can tell from the smiles on the faces of the sewist how much they like a garment.
This smile says it all and I tried the partial tuck, like that look, too.
I bought that fabric at Sew Expo too. Haven't made it up yet, but to be honest, I love the fabric so much that I'm happy to have it whether it ever gets sewn or not!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a stylish top - different and fun! I've admired this fabric and wondered how to pair it with a pattern. As usual, Lori, you made the perfect pairing! Karen
ReplyDeleteyou could wear the slit in the back, having the tie in the front.

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.

After losing $60k to this binary crypto investment in 2022, I didn’t think I’d ever trust any form of crypto investment platform again. Luckily for me I was able to recover the funds through this incredible Hacker Steve who understands everything about the blockchain network. It was an emotional moment for me but Hacker Steve literally saved my life. He was able to pull back all my transactions. I would advise anyone in the same situation to not panic cuz digital assets can be recovered. Other assets such as stolen funds, stolen credit, lost crypto, etc. Contact Hacker Steve on Gmail: hackersteve911@gmail.com
