Meissa-Moana Dress, pattern hack, Papercut Patterns

Hello, my sewing friends,

as soon as I saw the Meissa pattern hack at the papercut blog, I knew that I had to make a Meissa-Moana-dress myself, too.
I had made a Meissa blouse with a very good fit and one and two linnen Moana dresses.

I combined the two patterns to be a dress, shortening the shirt pattern at the same hight as the Moana top and using the skirt pattern of the Moana dress. I made all the shirt features as long sleeves with cuffs, adding a slit to be able to fold the sleeves up, collar with collar stand and button placket. I inserted an invisible zip at the left side seam.

I used a floaty viskose crepe I had bought at the KBC fabric outlet, Lörrach. Before attaching the skirt, I pinned it in place and tried the ruffle. Without it, the whole dress looked somewhat sad, so I sewed everything in place.

I sewed the top button hole a little bit too distal and will have to fix this after the wash. The dress is so comfortable, I wore it two days in a row.
