So for my first dress of 2021 I wanted to try out the non-tiered skirt option of McCalls 7948 and I've had this fabric stashed for ages so decided to use it for this - although the photo seems to show a slight check pattern, this doesn't notice at all in real life (it's just small white dots on navy), so it might just be a trick of the camera? I cut this out on New Year's Eve and finished sewing it on Saturday.
I lengthened the skirt by six inches and used the same bodice modification as for this one + pockets from Tessuti Felicia. This was a quick sew, I didn't do any pattern matching when cutting out - I wanted to see what the minimum fabric requirement would be (2.2m of 110cm wide fabric) and there are no darts or fastenings (or sleeves).
I like how this has turned out, there will be more of these this year I'm sure!
