McCall's 6282 again

I am really into those draped necklines right now and made McCall's 6282 again.  Click these links for the first blogpost and first pattern review

I used some fabric from Fabric Mart and cut out the dress length.  I had it all constructed and was trying it on for hemming, looked in the mirror and it was just too overwhelming with all that print.  Easy fix, cut it off for tunic length.

Here is the shorter (and better) version

  1. Tunic length is perfect for your fabric. Your top looks great with the jeans!

  3. You know that I come here for TOP inspiration lots of times. That tunic is so SWEET! I am in desperate need of tunics to wear with leggings, but can't make myself stop sewing dresses right now.

  5. That's very pretty, and colorful. Sometimes, a little goes a long way. I'm sure you made the right choice, shortening the dress into a top.

  6. That is drop dead gorgeous fabric. It looks great as a tunic. I just decided to purchase this pattern, like you I am into the drapey neck look but like the options with this particular pattern for the neckline. It should arrive next week.

  7. Another winner! I love the cowl necks also. I wasn't thrilled with my first version of the top from this pattern, but it was my fabric choice. Works very well in this fabric as a tunic.
