Bought this pattern yesterday, McCalls 6027 http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m6027-products-10725.php?page_id=108&search_control=display&list=search to make a dress for Joe's Christmas party that is Dec. 10th. Fabric suggestions include: stretch wovens, lightweight linen, lightweight pique.
I want to use red crepe back satin but the only patterns I found for that fabric were special occasion (ie: too fancy) patterns and a few blouses but I really like to wear dresses to his work party. I called mom and she said she did not know why it wouldn't be an appropriate choice so I'm asking here before I purchase/get started.
I plan to make view "B" which is the white dress on the far right. It has godets in the skirt for fullness/flounce but view "D" does not so I could make that one instead. I don't know if the seams of the godets in the skirt will look odd if I use crepe back satin?
