Finally, after much talk, and more buying of fabric and patterns than I let on here, I have actually sewn up a woolen winter dress- just in time for spring!It is McCall's M5464, made up in a wool/acrylic/polyester mix (not even pure wool, after all that!). I saw the fabric in the King's Fabric sale in Oxford for very cheap, having just seen a beautiful olive check dress on a woman in a restaurant. Irresistible, despite the low wool content!The dress does have the sleeves I've been coveting, and has already done plenty of work-dress duty.I wore it to a Bluestockings meet up, and mentioned I felt it was a little plain. Lara suggested a giant bow- so I had a bit of an experiment. I may have got a little carried away...Um, suggestions?(eta- Pattern Review here)
