Finally, the one my sister has been waiting for.
Bought this:
Made this:
Seriously over-estimated the blue - the pattern (McCalls 8895) had the bodice in different colors and ribbons on the sleeves instead of the red fabric. So I have 3/4 yards going into stash (which is why I bought basic tone-on-tone blue.)
The dress went together so well that I bought another 1.5 yards of the red to make the cape. The collar fabric/interfacing came from my stash.

I also bought and used 0.25 yards for the Sweet Dreams binding. Backing was from stash.
