McCalls Misses’ Dresses 6465

This is a really easy pattern, since it’s a pullover dress.
The only difficulty, and I repeatedly have it with wax fabrics, is the easing in of the sleeves. The only things that seem to help so far is using the seam ripper, patience and cursing… If you have any practical tip on how to make easing in wax fabric more easily, please share.
The only modifications I did aside from my usual FBA are adding:
-a lining, using the Easy Guide to Sewing Linings: Sewing Companion Library, so I could wear it with thighs in fall,
-and pockets. Because: pockets.
This is a great pattern to let the fabric “talk”.
