When I saw Lladybird’s pineapple-print version of McCall’s 6887 I immediately bought my very own copy of the pattern, picked out this fun green polka dot twill, and got to work. I had to have my own!

The dress turned out super comfy and cute. The twill is a stretch fabric which gives it extra ease when I’m wearing it, although it also makes the waist a bit less fitted so the dress benefits from being worn with a belt.

I modified the upper back so that the buttons are just decorative – there’s no placket, it’s sewn shut. It’s not like I was planning to ever unbutton the back – I don’t think I could even button it myself.
