Still Sewing & A Review: McCall's 3801 (OOP-- Yr 2002)

Hello Fellow Sewists:

Just dropping by to add another review.  I made this skirt early April but couldn't get these pics to load.

This skirt is from a pattern that has been aging in my stash forever and was used numerous times years earlier. The pattern is an OOP McCall's  3801 and the fabric is a Dupioni from my stash (several colors) I love this fabric.

The pattern consists of  tops, pants and skirts (2 lgths) and a sash.  Dupioni is one of the recommended fabrics and as I made this many moons ago, I decided to make it again. Unable to finish the top, I chose to pair it with an old jacket from WHBM. I haven't had the chance to wear this yet but I will post pics of me wearing it when I do.

The skirts are described as having a waistband, soft pleats and back zipper. I would describe the pleats as inverted.  I did draft a pattern and fully lined the skirt. Yeah!  This skirt looks lovely on and feels super!  I had to really dig for it.

Without further ado, let's look at the pics shall we. lol.
