McCalls 6083 with some modifications

Pattern: McCalls 6083

Been a slow week creating wise because I've been battling the flu. I did however want to work on my outfit for the destination wedding I'm going to be attending. I bought the McCalls 6083 almost a year ago, but just wasn't ready to tackle. Well during this last slow week, I decided to give it a try. I wish I'd lengthened the top part to account for my ample busts, but the outfit is doable. I loved how it turned out. I used the top style for view D and E and then used the bottom length for view B.

I got 3 yards of fabric because it was napped and I wanted to be sure I had enough. Since it was 60 inches crosswise grain, I was able to fold and cut my fabric along the crosswise grain so that the stripes went vertically down my body instead of across. 

This was everything laid out. I even had some fabric left over to use as lining in my clutch. I haven't made that yet. 

Final finished product. I'm satisfied. As you can see, I didn't keep the loose bottom. Since the view B was already a shorter length, I folded it under at 2.5 inches and made three rows of 3/8inch elastic casings. Love the length which will be perfect for a beach wedding.
