Let's be clear, shoulders are out!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everywhere you go, shoulders are on display. Lately, all the Big-4 pattern releases<br />
are keeping us on trend, and believe me I've coped just about every version!<br />

For the most part, this pattern was easy to sew up, I used a 14 and made a few alterations. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I tissue fitted, I didn't like how short the flounce or ruffles were against my chest, so I added 2" to the ruffles, all the way around. I also added 2' to the dress length, it's short now, but was even shorter. There's an invisible zip center back and a tie neck closure.</div>

I purchased this lovely print fabric sometime last year from <a href="https://gorgeousfabrics.com/" target="_blank">Gorgeous Fabrics</a>, along with several others. It was my first purchase from there, after admiring her fabrics for so many years, <strike>being cheap</strike> I mean frugal. The color is more <a href="https://gorgeousfabrics.com/shop/wovens/other-woven-fabrics/berry-fields-at-dusk-blouse-weight-robins-eggshellbla/" target="_blank">darker</a> in person, I think my exposure is too light in my camera settings, oh well. π It's a crepe de chine and really sews up well</div>

Unfortunately, I had less than 2 yards, so not enough for a maxi, but just </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
enough to squeeze out this OOP racerback dress! As you can see, not quite enough</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to pattern match my side seams, but ehh.</div>

The bodice is self lined and came together pretty easily, but the instructions for<br />
attaching the racerback at the neck portion was very confusing. so of course I had to improvise and get her done. The skirt portion is fine, with pleats in the front and back but could've been fuller,<br />
bonus if it had pockets, double bonus if I had more yards!! π<br />
She's cute tho!</div>

<span style="color: white;">Despite taking the risk of not making a muslin, it turned out pretty good!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;"> I used a lightweight rayon/poly fabric from my stash, with a nice flow. Now if I </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">decide to make this again, I will have to figure out how to lengthen it a bit.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">The pants are very cute with a fly front closure and detailed top-stitching seaming.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;"> I think they would look great with a color combo. I sewed a size 16 which is what I normally</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"> do, but these are really huge on me! I am literally swimming in these. I think my fabric selection didn't help either, even tho I used a ponte stable knit.</span></div>

I used clear elastic around the neckline, so it could lie flat. The shoulders were lightly gathered and the bodice actually has a lot of ease, kinda blousey in the bodice area, so I was unsure if or what<br />
size belt to wear with it! Because I am not about to readjust<br />
the fullness in no way!! </div>

That's all it took to sew this baby up! Now, were not talking cutting and layout time here,<br />
just actual sewing time. I found this cute seersucker at my local Hancocks,<br />
and purchased what was left on the bolt (which was just enough)!<br />

I have to admit, this is a pretty shapeless dress without the sash or belt, so it's </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
definitely needed. The dress design is very simple, I adore the pleated neckline and </div>

This was my first time sewing seersucker and it was a breeze to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
work with, it feels so cool and airy. Honestly, I've tip-toed away from this type of fabric<br />
in the past, only because the color selections often seemed too juvenile for me.<br />

Speaking of video, how many of you guys vlog? Is it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
instructional, more lifestyle, mixture? Is it easy?<br />
There was a discussion on Periscope about reinventing the wheel.<br />
Basically, is there an over-saturation of the same video, done over and over again.<br />
For instance, the circle skirt tutorial, the tulle skirt tutorial or the invisible zip tutorial etc...<br />
Or maybe your viewers just want to see <u>your</u> way, or how <u>you</u> do it!!?</div>

This was just an OK pattern for me. It's kinda blahh on me, maybe it's<br />
the fit or just the fabric selection, dunno...</div>

It went together pretty decent til I got to the skirt section. I had difficulty understanding<br />
the pleating, do I leave the stitching in or nah, pleat going up or down?<br />

I made this dress about 3yrs ago, it's been in draft mode waiting to be published. :-(<br />
I posted this photo, in the FB group showing how I was attaching my faux leather trim..<br />
It was extended, to make ties, but the pleather was stretchy.<br />

The issue I was having was, whether or not to use hooks in the back, ties or<br />
just close it up. I wanted it to be thick enough to hide my bra strap, and not to worry<br />
about the ties wearing out over time from retying it. Well, ......I just closed it. I pull it over<br />
my head first, then zip! lol<br />

I used the top from Simplicity1610, the seaming made it easy for<br />
me to do my usual FBA. I extended the upper back, by 1.5" to make sure<br />
my bra wouldn't show from behind. My girls need support at all times,<br />
which is why I love being able to alter to fit me!</div>

<b><span style="color: magenta;">About this ensemble....... Loving it!</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't bother reading the instructions, I just followed along with the tutorial. I made a few adjustments along the way. I added 2.5" to the crop top to lengthen it a tad, but still have that crop look! I added 2" to the sleeves, just for assurance sake but really didn't need to. I cut the 14 size for the skirt based on the finished measurements. I normally wear a 16, so I blended up to the 16 waistband for a comfier fit! <i>(didn't want spillage above and below the waistband, lol)</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The top was easy to assemble, and I find it's a great staple piece. Now for the daring, you </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
can wear it as is, "cropped", or you can add a few inches as I did or even a few more and its a great mock turtleneck! I've already drafted a nice dress from this top to wear with my favorite blazer.</div>

I'm also truely diggin this high waisted pencil skirt! Of course I have some already, but I love the fact that I can use up some of my left over fabric, <i>(that I hate to throw away)</i> as the side panels. The possibilities are endless so many design options leather, plaids, piping more color blocking etc.</div>

I saw this "Ponte Camo" fabric earlier in the spring at <a href="http://fabricmartfabrics.com/">Fabric Mart</a>, and put it on my wishlist that morning. Well, by the time I got home it was only a 1/2 yard left !! I was sick, ... seriously! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks later it was back in stock, and they had a sale on knits soo you kno </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I copped 6yards!! Uhm yes I did,... since I'm Camo Crazy, lol. I made quite a few things with it, and promise to post it later. In the meantime, I've been scouring the net for a cotton blend camo of some sorts to do a <a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/filebin/images/product_images/First_Full/V8866.jpg">peplum blazer</a>.

he competed in a calf scramble at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. He was able to rustle down a baby calf to raise for scholarship funds. Well, on Sunday he got his calf. Yea! </div>

The front is a mock wrap dress, and I made view A. I don't have any yellow in my closet, but this year I decided to try more golds and yellows. I've always had in my head that I was too dark for yellow and orange colors so I steered away from them. I'm still not to sold on it, but I'm trying.<br />

This dress is an oldie but goodie!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the longer version for my <a href="http://mochastyle.blogspot.com/2010/10/happy-b-day-2-moi-oh-and-v-1027.html">B-Day</a> a few years ago.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was influenced by <a href="http://mimigstyle.com/diy-tie-dye-dress-pattern-info-v1027/">Mimi</a>, to make this shorter version. Her style is amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I purchased this gorgeous tye-dye knit fabric from <a href="http://lowpricefabric.com/p-11582-crinkle-tie-dye-ml260055-taupe-navy-brown-multi.aspx">Michael Levine</a> after seeing<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the fabric she used for her dress. It's a crinkly feeling knit, but there's not a whole lotta </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stretch to it and it feels like it has a little spandex in it, idk.</div>

I tried a different earthy <a href="http://lowpricefabric.com/p-11582-crinkle-tie-dye-ml260055-taupe-navy-brown-multi.aspx">colorway</a>, that I adore. I knew I should've purchased some of the other colorways</div>

previously when I made this dress before. The same alterations were used, a fba, and 2"' </div>

added to the bodice length. Oh, and of course, shortened!</div>

This is a Chetta B. style wrap dress by Butterick, and I love how simple it was to sew up.<br />
It's a faux wrap style dress, without the inconvenience of the skirt part flashing, lol! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This fabric, that fabric, is a gorgeous ITY plaid knit that I purchased from Fabricmart a few years<br />
back. I must say, I'm sick I didn't purchase more. I love it!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The flared skirt, is the perfect width I didn't even bother to hem it. Now the belt took a bit to sew up, only because of the extensive amount of binding required. But the outcome really made it pop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I'm still in love with my other obi, it's a bit more sturdy, hides my<br />
side rolls, and cinches the waist better (for me)!<br />
<br />

"There will be cleavage", in this dress. You can always raise the neckline for more coverage or<br />
wear a cami to shield the girls. I opt to pin depending on the occasion!<br />

This pattern includes a zipper, but I dont feel it's needed. It also instructs you to sew </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
part of the belt to the dress but, if you like options there's no need there. It also runs a tad big, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took it in a bit on the side seams, and I cut a 14!</div>

In conclusion, this was so easy to sew, fun to wear, so I may even sew up another one. </div>

When I'm in a sewing rut, I go for easy, so this may be that instant gratification dress for me.</div>

For this skirt, I picked this bold and loud printed fabric, from </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the quilting section of my local Joann's. Uh yeah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I often times don't even go towards that section, unless I'm looking for broadcloth to line</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with, a ruler, some chalk or some safety pins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I first saw this pattern, I thought I saw that cover pic fabric in the quilting section, lol. But, I also loved the skirt itself. I love, love the wide band, it actually wraps around the waist.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I always wanted to try this framing effect, kinda like framing art in a picture or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
blocking, idk. I'm luvin that it has pockets which is always a plus for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can I twirl in it? <u><b>Check,</b></u> lol.<br />

This skirt also came with a cute 1-tier petticoat pattern. I followed the pattern and only added 1 row of ruffling for the petticoat, but i think doubling it would look even fuller!</div>

Instead of lining the bodice, I chose to use bias tape around the armholes and neckline. </div>

This Vogue was rated very easy, but I found myself stumped a couple times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I chose to do the v-neck version, and that part was pretty easy!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the hem which was cut on the crossgrain, which you have to cut out 4 times!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that somehow gave me the Blues.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wasnt cutting it out, just sewing it to the upper half of the dress! I had to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rip it apart a few times because the angles or points was not lining up or falling right!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to put it down a couple days and come back to it, wine in hand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and just attach it the best I could.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After that less than epic battle with tha "Very Easy Vogue" I thought it would look cute with my favorite sunnies. I'm really digging this tye-dye/splatter effect on this fabric and even more-so since it compliments my orangish hair color, lol. As much as I like this dress, nurp, won't be making it again!!</div>

A couple weeks ago <a href="http://adriennesessentials.com/maui-what-im-wearing-mccalls-6744/">Adrienne</a> posted a beautiful collection of her vacation dresses, and M6744 was in the lineup. I've had this pattern since it came out last summer, but didn't realize how cute it was til I saw Adrienne's.</div>

Had to show my low-key split, lol. The good thing is, it's really not so revealing! I love<br />
how the dress shows the fabric off and the split is just enough sexy without overkill.</div>

I need to improve my pattern cataloging system because I often purchase the same patterns more than once! I have soo many duplicate patterns, and this is one of them! If you don't have this one, but would like to try it I have one up for grabs!! Just comment below, and I will make a selection by 4-22-14.<br />
If the fabric is still in stock, you can get it <a href="http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/Crimson-Orange-Yellow-Black-Oriental-Floral-Lattice-ITY-Knit-60W.html">here</a>, <a href="http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/Teal-Taupe-Orange-Black-Oriental-Floral-Lattice-ITY-Knit-60W.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/Magenta-Purple-Black-Oriental-Floral-Lattice-ITY-Knit-60W.html">here</a>!</div>

In the past, I only owned a few Burda Style patterns. But recently I was able to grow my stash when a local Joann's was closing. To be honest my whole Big-4 stash grew, when all patterns were priced at $1.99!!! I was lucky to pick this one up because those pattern drawers were almost empty.</div>

Please excuse the location shots in my sewing cave, my other location is temporarly a gym for now, lol. <i>(I'm on a fitness weight-loss journey, that 40/40 club gotta work-it-out!)</i> More on that later!<br />

I can't even explain how I mixed up putting the pleated sections opposite each other instead of where they belong according to the instructions. I didn't notice at all until I looked at the envelope. Oh well..... I digress.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course the cut out sleeves is what attracted me to this pattern, since I see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it on a lot of RTW</div>

I lucked up on this fabric from <a href="http://fabricmart.com/">Fabricmartfabrics.com</a> during one of their great sales.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to order more but they seems to be sold out. It's a Ponte</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was pretty easy to sew up, the instructions were very simple to follow. It was great </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not needing to alter anything just sewing it straight out the envelope!</div>
