Watch me sew a gorgeous dress from a 1950s McCall’s pattern, using unique vintage fabric! Featuring bias cut chevroning stripes on the bodice, set-in sleeves, and a perfect matching belt. Follow along as I sew this dress, and get some insights into my decision-making process on best print placement with this busy fabric. There may or may not be some regrets in this project too... 🙃
