Sew with me, making my DREAM dress! Using the special fabric from my stash. McCalls sewing tutorial

Hi everyone,
Thanks for joining me for today's video, let's sew a wedding guest dress! In this one we are sewing McCall's M8209 corset style dress with a few twists. I'm going to hack the pattern to have a faux shirred back using elastic channels and add bow straps too.
The fabric is an ex-designer cotton lawn from Stitch Fabrics that I've been nervous to sew, did I do it justice?!
Pattern M8209. Sizes 8-32W (Finished garment measurement 34inch - 57 inch bust)

My wife and I are going on a Mediterranean Cruise in July. I like to sew dresses for her. I made a few for the trip already and saw this and decided I might attempt to make this for her. Yes, I know I'm a guy but I love to be creative. My wife is a travel nurse and we travel around the US in a motorhome. I used to be a Auto body mechanic and was constantly working on my motorcycles, cars, trucks, etc. But being on the road I can't do that. So I found an alternative, sewing. I just recently started so I'm not really all that good but I'm learning! I figured just take my time and like auto body mechanic. How well can I hide my boo-boos? ! LOL Thank you for this video!

Mein Mann hat auch einen Sommerrock genäht für mich, obwohl er nicht sehr kreativ ist. Mit einer guten Anleitung kann es jeder schaffen. Früher haben auch Männer genäht, viele haben es im Militärdienst gelernt oder in der Schule. Mein Vater hat auch viel genäht und gestrickt. Wenn er als Kind etwas böses angestellt hat, dann musste er ein kleines Stück stricken. Seine Mutter hat daraus Decken gemacht. Und ich kann sagen, mein Vater war sehr schnell im Stricken, ich glaube er war ein ungehorsames Kind.

Wow! This a first and I think it's wonderful that you're learning this great skill. I'm sure your wife will be so grateful.

Great job and nice tutorial.

It looks so good! I love the elastic back. I tend to gravitate towards a shirred or elastic top.
