It\u2019s refreshing to finally be out of the winter season and fully some sleeveless garments. Today I\u2019ll be sharing my first sleeveless garment of the spring\/summer season!<\/p>\n

\"M7894<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pattern Details<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I made McCalls 7894<\/a> which has a fitted lined bodice, a raised shaped waistline and features a side invisible zipper. It also has multiple sleeve and skirt variations.<\/p>\n

\"M7894<\/p>\n

Pattern size & adjustments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I made a size 14 for the bodice, graded to a 16 at the waist. For the skirt, I graded to a size 20 at the hips. Yes, it is quite a fitting dress naturally so it had to grade quite a lot to ensure that if fit me. I made View C of the pattern. For reference, my body measurements are bust 40\u201d, waist 34\u201d and hips 45\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fabric Used<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I used a beautiful rayon Denim Tencel in navy blue. It is currently sold out but the lighter blue version is still available here<\/a>. It has a beautiful drape and worked great for this project. It\u2019ll be perfect for skirts, pants, and blouses as well. The fabric content is 55% tencel, 42% rayon, 3% spandex.\u00a0 (Fabricville: The Denim Tencel is currently sold out but here is a link to our Rayon<\/a> section with over 150 choices suitable for this pattern.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"M7894<\/p>\n

Other modifications<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I graded the pattern quite a bit (see pattern size & adjustments above) which meant that I added a few inches to each ruffle as well. I also shortened the pattern by about 4 inches to get the right length for me.<\/p>\n

\"m7894<\/p>\n

What I liked\/disliked about the pattern<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My favorite thing about this dress has got to be the slit. It\u2019s not too high but it\u2019s visible enough to make it quite easy to dress up if I wanted to.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a big fan of side zippers but it may be because I\u2019m not great at installing them below sleeves. Maybe more practice will help but I dreaded the side zipper install and honestly, it was not as perfect as my back zipper installations. The main reason I chose to go sleeveless is because there is already a lot going on with this pattern \u2013 from the gathers at the bust to the ruffles and slit in the skirt. I decided that adding sleeves would be a little too much for one dress. I think I made the right decision.<\/p>\n

\"m7894\"<\/p>\n

Styling <\/strong><\/h4>\n

For the most part, I\u2019ll be pairing these with flats but it\u2019ll look really good whenever I decided to dress it up as well. It\u2019s such a great piece to layer up as well so I\u2019m looking forward to wearing it during the colder months with the right layering pieces.<\/p>\n

Happy Sewing,<\/p>\n
