McCall's 7992

Here is my unplanned birthday dress, yes, a wool dress in April. I made a few modifications on this because I didn't have enough of the main fabric. This fabric came from Hancock Fabrics. I had stalked it for about a year because it was quite expensive. Then kept it in the stash for so long because it was precious to me. Just sew it is my advice!

I doubled the size of the bow tie, because skinny bow ties remind me of western wear for some reason. The bottom ruffle was made wider because I needed the length. In a perfect world the elastic waist would be lowered a bit, but not the end of the world.
