Empire dress (McCall's 5039)

This pattern didn't work so well on me. I gave the dress away.

Pattern: McCall's 5039
View: D
Size: 10
Fabric: Cotton woven

Things I learned:

• Size 10 proved to be too big for me.
  
• The skirt part was not as flared as I had thought it was.
• Also, I should know by now that cap sleeves (even if poofy) don't look particularly flattering on me.
• (I could use sleeveless, short sleeved, 3/4 sleeved, or long sleeved patterns.)
