2020 has been one heck of a crazy year, but at least it has delivered on the green dress front!
I made this sweet baby using McCalls 7752 bodice, then attached a circle skirt. I am so loving this bodice - it fits like a dream, and is so versatile. Bookmark it kids, because you'll be seeing it over and over again!
The fabric is a thick cotton jacquard I picked up from The Fabric Store ages ago. I had no plans for it when I purchased it, but experience has taught me that when you see the perfect green fabric, you grab it with both hands and swing your handbag wildly about to make sure no other fabric customer can steal it from you. Joking...maybe 😛
The bodice is interfaced, lined and boned on the side seams. I love the structure of a well fitted bodice, and think it really is worth the extra work.
Full skirt made for twirling... I'm a satisfied green dress customer!

Love, love your new green dress! Congrats on perfecting the bodice into a TNT you'll use over and over again. This makes sewing easier and faster.
