For everyone who asked the pattern, here it is. I made the dress, but since it’s “maxi”, cut it off at the line where you can shorten/lengthen, preserving the slight curve in the hem. I made size 14. I usually wear a medium or 8 in RTW Dresses or skirts, 6 in jeans and some pants.<div><br /></div><div>Here is one source. But it depends what size you need. From what I can tell, it dates back to about 2000. One thing I liked about using it was that with only three sizes to choose from, it’s easier to cut. Patterns now usually have all sizes, or at least 6-8 lines.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.yourpatternshop.com/item_1237/McCalls-2755-Jacket-Dress-Top-Pants-Shorts-Size-14-18.htm">https://www.yourpatternshop.co.....-14-18.htm</a><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-cheered-up-hope-it-continues/page/2#post-2130135 Sat, 27 Jun 2020 22:08:04 +0000 avicennia 2130135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your dress is just my style — truly!

Love the dress, it turned out awesome, and your hair is super cute.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is a kind of depressing time right now isn't it.

I'm so impressed, it's lovely, a delightful triumph.</p> <p>Being away from your family may not be the worst problem, thank goodness you're well and I'm presuming, your family too, but it's very, very hard to bear.</p> <p>You are probably better than you think at phone time but don't give up on trying things to find the time more satisfying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-cheered-up-hope-it-continues#post-2129764 Fri, 26 Jun 2020 10:59:10 +0000 kkards 2129764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress...so envious of people who have the talent to make things with their hands! and sorry your feeling sad and lonely, i can relate but try not to dwell on it, just taking one day at a time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-cheered-up-hope-it-continues#post-2129758 Fri, 26 Jun 2020 10:12:31 +0000 Star (Lise) 2129758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simplistic Fabness - love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-cheered-up-hope-it-continues#post-2129744 Fri, 26 Jun 2020 05:25:21 +0000 kellygirl 2129744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous dress!

This pandemic has kept us at home for almost four months and I've tried to stay busy to keep the blues away. I'm getting healthy and fit from so much walking, have started practicing the piano again, work on my bridge game online, read, and have been redoing the backyard. Our area is having a big &nbsp;surge in new cases right now, so staying safe is my priority.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-cheered-up-hope-it-continues#post-2129717 Fri, 26 Jun 2020 01:50:46 +0000 Sal 2129717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lovely dress - perfect for the wedding.</p> <p>I can imagine how your emotions have been through the wringer this year.&nbsp; Really tough times.&nbsp; You will be pleased to have ticked off a few projects but the emotional toll is hard!! </p>
