Sewing McCalls 7537 fitted peasant style dress

Wow... So, this one went way longer than I thought, mostly because I had to rework the bodice pattern, and then rework the fabric bodice. You'll see what I mean. I used three different colors of vibrant corduroy fabric. I also demonstrated a side placed invisible zipper, brass eyeletes to lace up the front, and all kinds of strategic issues. In the end the dress is fun and comfortable and ready for some festivity. I hope you like it!
