My apologies for the dark photos. Cloudy day. |
Time for another review. This is the last of three outfits that I made this summer for myself. So I'm reviewing them in reverse order. This is a quick review. It is a combination of two patterns: McCall's M7775 for the top and Vogue V1452 pants. This is the same pant pattern used for my next review.
I wore this outfit to a birthday celebration in my mother's home town of Huntsville, AL. It was a fun time, and the outfit was summertime perfect for the event.
The top:
I used the McCall's dress pattern to make the top. This was easy. I just figured out the length for it and shorten the pattern there adding the necessary hem allowance. The adjustments were made way back in 2018. So I was able to skip the pattern adjustment process. My initial review of this pattern is here: McCall's 7775 Dress 2018.
The Pants:
As always, I had to add a few inches to the length of the leg. I used size D. These pants have a lot of style ease in them. The pants looked very much like the illustration on the pattern envelope.
The Fabric:
My fabric is a polyester crepe from Hancock's Fabrics. It's been in my collection for several years. I was happy to finally make something out of it. It was easy to sew and has a spongy feel to it. Compared to the rayon fabric that I used for my 2018 dress, the drape of the top had a stiffer drape.
Overall I was very pleased with how this outfit turned out.

All your outfits are beautiful and also the handbag. Congratulations on your graduation.
