Dress Facts:
Fabric: Poly Cotton from Hometown
Pattern: McCall’s 6028
Notions: 24 Inc zipper and matching thread
Time to complete: 4 hours

Wear again? This is my second time trying this pattern. Shifts are very versatile and I feel I can make many more of those.
Total Cost: £10
Pattern alterations or any design changes: Same as previous with FBA .This time I made the pattern shorter. I used the same size (a bit loose last time) but It very accommodating to the extra stone I put on this year.
Conclusion: Making this pattern for the second time just consolidates the way I feel about this pattern, it’s timeless and the variations make a good choice for sewist that don’t want to draft their own variations.
I would recommend again and again!
