M7381 in an autumnal needlecord

This is the second version of M7381 I've made, using some lovely Seasalt needlecord with little acorns on it. I made an XS but I've taken a lot out of the back- around 4 inches. I also narrowed the shoulders by 1 cm and took an inch or so out of the front bodice. This pattern is VERY roomy on top (for reference I have a 31" bust) so I had to alter it quite a bit to get a fit I liked. I also added some in-seam pockets and changed the sleeves to an elastic cuff (so I can wear it to work and be "bare below the elbows"...).

I like this pattern- it has some sweet details (like the pleating on the shoulders) and comes together easily. It works well in needlecord if making the non-tie front version. I've worn it a lot this winter- always a good sign! I just wish it had a bit less ease in the bodice...

McCalls Misses’ Surplice, Pleated Dresses with Optional Front-Tie 7381

I am pretty new to sewing clothes but have been sewing for years. I thought this came together very easy, it was the first time I did a lining and the directions were great. The pattern seem to fit me a little big but I do now know how to adjust patterns to fit to my body yet. I made in cotton even though it calls for more drapey fabric but I love a cute cotton dress! I will be making a few more of these.
