Thank you very much for this video Anna. I started this dress yesterday and your excellent sewing lesson is going to help me a lot! The explanations of the pattern say to iron the bust darts up, but that's a mistake: you have to iron them down (as you actually did it). I read somewhere that this gorgeous dress is inspired by a Dior model from 1947. (Ghislaine from France)
The presenter of the video is wonderful, and I admire all of the fine finishing with bias tape and her precision sewing. However, I agree with the other commenter here, the collar is absolutely a dealbreaker. I bought the pattern expecting a standard collar installation, but when I saw this, I knew I would never be able to master it. Why on earth did McCalls do this??!! You can have a very nice flat notched collar with lapels using a much simpler method.
This is really beautiful work. Well done🎉
Thank you so much 😊
