Macaron

 

Happy Monday! Today I am sharing my first Collette Patterns Macaron dress.

It was a fun project to sew, Collette Patterns being pretty strieght forward

and easy to follow. I may consider this first one a muslin (I have to deal with

being 2 different sizes in the bust and waist and hip.) But all in all I am pretty

happy with my first attempt, the only changes I would make is that I used

a sheer batiste for the top white contrast fabric, I feel it was a bit too sheer.

To accommodate that I substituted the collar facing for bias binding.

Next time I would love to try this pattern in a nice drapy rayon.

Also if anyone is a fan of the Macaron, Sew LA has this great tutorial on

how to make the dress a bit more A-Line. I did not try it as I wanted

to see what the original version was like first.
