B5982 & M6955---The Lovely White Embroidered Floral Mesh Dress

I was happy with the outcome of this pretty dress that I recently made for the lovely Mrs. A to wear to a church conference. The style is classic and the floral mesh fabric overlay added wonderful texture to this dress.  I used 2 patterns---Butterick 5982 bodice and McCall's 6955 skirt. I love the combination of the fitted bodice and circle skirt. This dress called for alot of fabric and it consisted of the floral mesh overlay, stretch cotton sateen as the base fabric and a jet set as a lining for the bodice. The mesh had a small amount of stretch which is why the other fabrics used in the dress had stretch as well. Of course the stretch factor insured I could get a really great and close fit in the bodice. The addition of a store bought crinoline helped give the dress added flare. This dress was a bit involved but was fun to make and I'm delighted my client loved it:)
