McCall's 5925

I set out to make version B with short sleeves. But then I realized that making myself a dress while I am nursing didn't sound very convenient. So I skipped the pockets and shortened the hem to more of a tunic length. This is a very loose fitting pattern and I felt that that combined with the brown/orange fabric just wasn't a good look. So I brought in the sides and added a fabric belt and I love the result. I still have to take the belt off to nurse but at least I am not hiking up my dress. I have worn this out and about twice now and I love it! It looks great with my farmer's market cardi too. The pattern also has lots of nice finishing techniques that hide most of the raw edges. This fabric frays like crazy. I found it in the shirting aisle at Joann's but after I got home I noticed it has some stretch to it and was heavier than I thought so really I have no idea what fabric this is other than that it is a polyester/rayon blend. Next time I go to Joann's I will have to hunt it down. But this fabric doesn't seem to wrinkle which is a huge plus to a lazy girl like me. I should be able to wear this tunic to work too...maternity leave is over tomorrow...oh the highs and lows of a working mom...
