This is my toile of McCalls 6350. A pretty little Laura Ashley pattern.
siWhat do I love most about this pattern you ask?
Why it's the cup sizes of course!
I love that this goes up to a D cup. I always want to make up patterns with lovely bust details but just thinking of the full bust alteration on a pattern like this gets me flustered!.
I am an E cup and the D cup of this pattern fits like a DREAM!
And a contrasting black fabric from the stash :-)
The only thing I had to change was the shape of the darts... they were slightly...
erm.... pointy Madonna style. So I rounded them off.
Finished pictures to come, I'm wearing this out on the weekend! hooray
Love the bust detailing! I have the same issue with the bust in patterns. I have worked with a few patterns that have cup sizes and they are very handy.
ReplyDeleteVery awesome, the fabric is so pretty and I love the pleated bust detail!
ReplyDeletethose are lovely colored fabrics, they contrast really well and highlight the bust detail, so pretty!
ReplyDeletelooks like it's going to be a great dress!
ReplyDeleteThat looks beautiful! Can't wait to see it when it's finished :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this finished!
ReplyDeleteOMG! The shape of the bust makes me dream! I'm an A cup so my problem is generally that the bust is too big and I always have to transform it! So I understand very well your point of view ;)
ReplyDeleteOhh, lovely! Are you doing the view with the faux-panniers AKA droopy pockets? I love that one.
ReplyDeleteLove it! This is going to be super cute!!
