Showcasing..... McCalls 6988

I wore my recently completed dress to work yesterday and received lots of comments... See my complete pattern review in the previous post.

Happy sewing y'all !!!

My First Post ...... McCalls 6988

My first post on this blog will be dedicated to my recently completed McCall's 6988 pattern. This is one beautifully designed pattern that I believe will flatter everybody type. Please see my complete review below. 

Fabric: Poly-spandex fabric and polyurethane faux leather from local NE Calgary fabric-land store.
Pattern Description: Semi-fitted dresses with self-lined yokes, princess seams, and back zipper. A, B with flounce and narrow hem. I made a sleeveless version B.
Pattern Sizing: Size E5, (14 - 22). I cut size 14 and morphed to 16 from waist down.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?:
Were the instructions easy to follow: The instructions are quite easy to follow.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: The following were made to original pattern
   1. Lengthened the bodice by 3.5",
   2. Omitted lined yoke, 
   3. Interfaced neck and sleeve, turned-in and sewed down 
   4. No lining attached.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Flounce..... I so much love
Conclusion: This style will flatter any figure and shape. It's a plus in my book, and it looks so much better on me than the dress- form.
Happy sewing you all !!! 

Enjoy!!!!
