My version of McCall 6988 a well drafted pattern for every share. I love everything peplum/flounce and this pattern is no exception. Check out my pattern review below:
Fabric: Poly-spandex fabric and polyurethane faux leather from my local fabricland store.
Pattern Description: Semi-fitted dresses with self-lined yokes, princess seams, and back zipper. A, B with flounce and narrow hem. I made a sleeveless version B.
Pattern Sizing: Size E5, (14 – 22). I cut size 14 and morphed to 16 from waist down.

1. Lengthened the bodice by 3.5″,
2. Omitted lined yoke,
