Me Modeling a Jumpsuit

Pattern: McCall's 6760 MISSES' DRESS AND JUMPSUIT: Lined dress or wide-legged jumpsuit has drawstring on shoulders, semi-fitted, gathered bodice overlapping slightly to side back (no side seams), midriff, side pockets, invisible back zipper and narrow hem.
Sizes: 6-24

Fabric: ITY Knit
 Adjustments: Decreased the front of pants inseam by 3 inches which means that this jumpsuit is made to accommodate those with a very large stomach.

***I had the invisible zipper ready to insert and decided to use the 20" overlapping zipper. Don't do it because with the V you'll need the invisible zipper or insert the regular zipper without overlapping it.

Raised the neckline by 4"
 This is my first twist out with my natural hair. As you can see the length is not at the top of the zipper as it was before going natural.
 Below, I'm trying to show off my matching sandals.
This is a very easy and fun pattern. When I was pulling the pattern, I had no idea there was a jumpsuit included. I only saw the dress online. Notice the difference in the back bodice of the dress and the jumpsuit. Line Art
