I started making McCall’s 7948 today...
... using this fabric

I fitted the muslin yesterday and I am glad I did it, because:
- the gathering width for the top tier in view C/D is way too much and looks unflattering, when I do this later on I’ll use the pattern piece for view A/B and shorten it as desired
- I had to make the shoulders 2.5cm (1”) narrower, and I don’t have narrow shoulders
- I’m a D cup and needed to do a 1” FBA - I do a smallish bust dart, the front piece is too short to pivot it anywhere
I’ll update my progress here (and some variations
). The current version won’t have tiers, and I gather the skirt piece instead of doing the pleats.
