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 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.

When I first saw the pictures – I thought I liked the one you made better. After reading your review of the pattern – I know I do!! In fact, I’m pretty sure I’m going to try it myself at least once 😉

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
Susan

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.
