M.O.B. Dress

[Lorra Biddle]

I made this for my youngest daughter’s July wedding.  Her bridesmaids all wore different pastel floral print dresses so, I chose this chartreuse silk to complement.  The pattern for the wrap-top was McCall’s 4384 (vintage 2004) with an adaptation for the sleeve.  The skirt was a bias cut with a faced waistline.  It was a good choice, easy to fit and comfortable!  I had fun with the ‘muslin’ by using rayon with a bold floral print.  So now I have 4 separate pieces that I can wear again.  The tops work well with slacks and the skirts can be worn with other style tops.  I love separates.

Really lovely! And so versatile. I love the folded back, vented sleeve adaptation.

Looks great! Nice fabric, and so great that your mock-ups are wearable too!
