McCall's has a new pattern that is styled in a similar way to my Single Man Dress. Although looking back now, there are a lot of things I would alter in that dress. See how they did the seaming to create the white panel? I just stitched a panel on the front of the dress because I couldn't figure out a way to do it neatly back in November. But I guess that's why I'm keeping track of my progress on this blog: so I can see where I've improved and where I still need some work ;)

STOP PRESS!
Guess what just arrived in my mailbox... Simplicity 2591! Angela from RiAnge creations offered it to me when I put out my desperate plea for a copy - and then it arrived like a wonderful birthday present :) If I weren't leaving town in a couple of days I would have that pattern traced, cut and basted by bedtime tonight. I think I am going to make a blatant rip-off of Farah's, which was a copy of Adey's which was based on Michelle Tan's Renee 1950s Retro Dress. This is starting to become a meme.....
You're welcome. Have a wonderful trip.
