McCall’s 5591…A Pattern Review

, , DIY, Sewing & Fashion 0

Right now I'm having full moments of obsession.

Today's obsession is with stripes.

I loveddddddddddddddddddd the way the stripes on the waist band went in a different direction. I love playing with stripes but I'm not ALWAYS successful lol.

I LOVE this lady. Seriously. I wanted to wear this outfit. I just don't like my skirts THAT short. SO glad I sew.

Enter McCall's 5591

 

5591m

 

Pattern Description: Mid-knee length, pleated skirts have faced yoke and back zipper closure; skirt A has slash front pocket with band and contrasting lower band; skirts B and C have side seam pockets; skirt B has carriers and sash; skirt C has ribbon trim at lower edge.

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? SUPER easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Love this pattern.

Fabric Used: Some type of poly mystery blend I found at Hancock. It was $2.00 a yard.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None really. I didn't add pockets or carriers for the sash.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I am TOTALLY making this again in a solid. LOVE this pattern.

Conclusion: This is a great pattern if you like box pleats.

This skirt is totally twirl worthy! What you don't twirl?? You are missing out on the finer things in life lol

I didn't think I could wear pleats. What I learned is that is reallyyyy depends on the TYPE of pleats and the fabric. Still learning what looks good on me. Thanks to my gooooooooooooooood friend for talking me into making this skirt lol. Love you!

I wore my fun yellow pumps

And blingy yellow necklace for a more fun look.

 

 

Alright, that's all I got lol.

Till next time!
Toodles!

    I love it, simple yet dramatic. Love the twirly photo too. It’s funny that wearing stripes horizontally used to be considered such a no no and now they are everywhere.

    I found this link below, you might want to check out the books, library first perhaps? They are pricey.
