Hi everyone, this week I have sewn the New Look dress 6446 in a floral stretch cotton fabric. I have had to do a full bust adjustment to prevent the high bust from being too big, but this hasn't worked brilliantly. This dress includes waist darts as well as pleats at the back and one at the front and I'm not sure I like the back pleats. This dress does have good sized pockets though so that is one bonus point.
Fabric from SewLoco:

Pattern:
New Look 6446 - options for dress, playsuit or jumpsuit with fitted bodice and pleated skirt.
