Finished McCalls 6559 maxi dress

Finally, I finished the dress!! Yay! Unfortunately, I was unable to get a really good picture, and unfortunately, I am unable to explain how I did my version of color-blocking. I didn’t come out exactly how I wanted, because I wanted a tighter fit around the neck and armhole edges, but I’m pretty happy with it.
As far as the color-blocking, all I know it that I tried to have the blue strip 11in and the pink strip at the bottom 11in. Really, that was a headache because it was confusing with trying to add the seam allowances the both and trying to measure in a hem, which is why I didn’t do one in the end.

Well, this is the best picture I could take with my phone. I hope you all get an idea of what it looked like.
