I'd like to combine them so I make the bodice out of McCall's 7208 and the straight skirt from McCall's 6767, 1963/64.
My mom drew little lines on the bodice of one of the models to show the chevron pattern because the pieces are cut on a bias. What would happen if I cut the skirt straight? I am afraid a straight skirt cut on the bias would make me look like a circus ride.
I have a striped cotton/silk blend fabric that I'd like to use and I think would be lovely for the bodice, but would vertical stripes (very tiny) for the skirt clash with the chevron on the bodice?
Thanks for any advice you can give me!
