Burgundy Rib Knit dress from New Look 6650
I raised the back neckline slightly, and scooped the front neckline. Instead of folding the fabric under and stitching for the neckline I drafted a narrow neckband and applied that instead. The neckline measured 25" and I cut a neckband piece that was 2 inches wide by 22 inches long.
The pattern has a short sleeve and a slightly longer short sleeve, so I extended the longer sleeve by 11" to give a full length sleeve.
I didn't cut the back on the fold, instead I added a seam allowance to the centre back and moved the split round to the back.
I sewed the ties on about 2 inches higher up than the pattern indicates as this is more flattering on my body shape.
That is a beautiful color, I have started to buy that pattern so many times😄i have it in a retail dress with a fuller skirt but I am luving this maxi version
