Pattern modifications:
1. Removed the pleats from the front of the skirts
2. Didn't use interfacing on facings
3. Used an invisible zipper
I love this pattern and style! It definitely needed a belt and I don't own very many. I ended up going to Target the day before the wedding to buy a belt and a clutch. They were perfect! I think it was a good buy. :)
Because I was making it in a haste, I didn't finish my edges or hem the bottom of the dress. I will need to go back clean those up, but other than that I love my new dress! I received many compliments on this dress at the wedding despite my hap-hazardly construction. See my side seams don't even match... I need to fix that, too.
Hopefully I'll have some pictures up later of the clutch and back of the dress, but I don't have any right now.

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog 'cos now I've found yours too! I love that deep red colour on you, it suits you really well. The style is gorgeous too, and if you hadn't mentioned the hem or side seams no one would pick it
Your dress is so beautiful, it fits you absolutely! Perfect choice of the colour too!
Fantastic dress, who would know if you didn't tell, I just realize I purchased the same fabric from your Vogue 1027 dress I don't know what I'm going to make but I'm leaning toward some type of tunic, we'll see what develops.
very classy! i just pulled this pattern from my stash. i love the doubleknit idea.
That dress looks gorgeous and really suits you. For $20 and made in double quick time - it's especially amazing!!
What a great dress! I would not have picked that pattern for myself, but now that I see yours... Nice job on such short notice!
Great look and great fit!
Lovely dress and agree the color looks great on you.
Thanks, ladies!!
@Tanya, isn't the fabric great?! I just love the bold colors and print. I'm sure whatever you make will be fanastic. Can't wait to see what you come up with! :)
Great looking dress. The belt is an extra nice touch.
Thank you for the wonderful complement on my jacket.
I can't believe that you made that dress in the course of the evening. It takes me days to sew a dress! You look lovely in it - great color on you.
Thank you, ladies! :)
Thank you?
Had to come back to say that everytime I look at that dress I want it more and more. I will be getting that pattern at the next Vogue pattern sale.
JUST GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you ladies!
You look gorgeous. What a beautiful dress!
You did a beautiful job on this dress. Look look gorgeous in it.
Signed you up for the month of tops! Glad to have you come along to. That pattern is McCalls 5884.
This will sound crazy...I don't know your real name! I listed you in the top sew-a-long as Songlalala.
Thanks for letting me know (Angela). I want to sew tonight, but I opted to cook dinner and then I was too tired to cut. Hopefully tomorrow.
Thank you for your nice comment on my blouse! I've just discovered your blog and I found a lot of things that I love :) This red dress is awesome!
Thanks, Cecili, for your comment and stopping by!
