M6072 - this is now in the out of print section but is a great maxi dress pattern
Finished the above pattern McCall 6072 whilst away on holiday - had cut it out at home. Bought a second hand sewing machine at a French 'troc' - second hand goods venue - for 25 euros, it is a Pickling, which is an East German machine, not a make I have ever heard of but worked well after a bit of help from the Nuclear Electrician next door who was visiting his mum!
Back to the dress, wondered if the twist in the bodice would be tricky but in fact the most fiddly part was just keeping the twist out of the way whilst I finished the bodice off. Actually speaking it came together incredibly fast and I had many compliments each time I wore it. I last wore it on September 12th for my father-in-laws 80th birthday lunch and to be fair I had been a bit optimistic - it was a little on the chilly side that day!
