McCall's 6559...A Review

  I fell in LOVE with this dress:

But at THIS PRICE? NO WAY lol. Mine isn't EXACTLY like it because I still can't have anything restricting on my stomach but the next version I make will be.

Pattern Description: Misses Unlined Dress

Pattern Sizing: 14-22


Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn't even need them.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love that this pattern is TWO pieces lol.


Fabric Used: Missoni type knit from Joann's


Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: NONE

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I am going to make this 100 times over lol

Conclusion: It took me longer to match the print than it did to sew the actual dress. I also underlined it to the knee with a white knit since the fabric is sheer.

I didn't hem it. I actually liked the way the selvage looked:

There ya have it. LOVE this pattern. Can't get any better than two pieces lol.

Hi, Adrienne - I hope your recovery is going well. Can you please tell us a little more about how you inserted the lining? Did you just cut the lining from the same pattern? And then how is it attached?

Can you tell I have a couple of knit dresses I need to line? LOL

Thanks

I'm thinking about ordering from fabric from that site I emailed you about for this pattern. Two pieces? That's right up my alley.
