Nothing but Fun! Another White Party!

Pattern: McCall's 6247 pants
 
 
 



Pattern: McCall's 7191 blouse with ruffle back view D
Alterations: Added 2" to length, net for upper back, sleeves, and neckline, and shortened sleeves. Fabric was added for upper back lining. The bust dart was lowered and needs to be decreased another two inches as it's too far into the bust point.
 Fabric: White poly/lycra Techno Knit from Fabric Mart and polyester large fishnet thrifted fabric



   McCall's 7191 view D  same pattern as here

Line Drawing
This was my first time using the Techno knit. It has a sheen and it creases well.

      Thank you! I pondered and waited until the last minute to make this. Thank goodness for the scraps of netting.

    Love your top, the back with the gathers if very flattering! Great job! You look lovely in white too.

      Thank you! If I was brave enough I would have left the upper bodice netting unlined.

    It is a lovely top - very up to the moment. The gathers on the back section are a great idea - no fitting, and very flattering.

      Yes, I really like the back of this top. I could have made it fit in the front by removing one inch on each side, but I had hemmed it when I though about it. We didn't know my husband and I had to stand up and toast the birthday guy. I was happy that I decided to make a set.
