Black and White Aztec Stripe Front Slit Maxi - McCalls 6744 D

After sewing up views A and B of this pattern I knew View D was next. I scored this great on trend Aztec stripe jersey knit at my favorite local store. It was a $4.99 for 3 yards! (It had to be 4 yards because I still have 2 yards left.) That's $4.99 for two dresses (I think I'll make another dress out of my 2 leftover yards) I love being Frougie! I've already expressed my love of maxi dress on my review of View B. So there's not much more to say. This view still only has 4 pattern pieces, but this time the front skirt and bodice pieces are not cut on the fold. There is a smidge more work involved to create the wrap bodice and gathering at the shoulders, but it is still an easy project.I am so pleased with the outcome, there will be more SOON! Next time I will remember to tack the front wrap skirt piece to the back piece to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions. The first day I wore it was a windy day and I was grabbing at the skirt constantly.Pattern: M6744 View DPattern Description: Pullover dresses have bodice variations, elasticized (seamed) waist, and narrow hem.

YesWere the instructions easy to follow? YesLikes: I like the overall design but especially the use of elastic casing at the shoulder seams instead of gathering.
