McCalls 7323 - two versions
« on: April 09, 2018, 15:36:17 PM »
Here are my attempts at McCalls 7323
https://www.sewessential.co.uk/misses-asymmetrical-seam-detail-tops-mccalls-pattern-7323?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvu7y97Ot2gIVb5PtCh0myQ41EAQYAiABEgKuQfD_BwE

both are made in viscose jersey - the stripe was from Sherwoods and the floral from Ditto.  The floral is lovely and soft but was a pain to cut out - didn`t want to lie flat

I like this pattern as it seems to suit my small bust but has enough flare to cover any other lumps and bumps.  The sleeves on the pattern are very short - even my short sleeved version had 2 inches added.

I think I am happy with the fit.  I must admit I am always tempted to make t-shirts tighter but have had to reluctantly admit that if I do that it just highlights the layers of back-fat etc!

I do like the striped one, it highlights the asymmetrical construction which is a bit lost with the floral fabric.
Life's too short for ironing.

@Ploshkin     Yes I agree but after I made the striped one I decided that stripes also show up any flaws in construction and fitting more!

This is the closest I`ve been able to find for a pattern that is ok for my small bust but isn`t too clingy everywhere else!

Ooh, pretty!  Love the stripy one, if only I wasn't built like a brick outhouse, I'd love one of those!
