Pattern Review: McCalls 6320

M6320

 I love this pattern. I like the Tarzan look, it's a classic trend that can be done for all occasions. I like this so much that I have made this dress twice. Here is my review of the first dress.

Pattern Envelope M6320

Pattern Description: Misses' Dresses and Belt. Close-fitting dress has lined bodice. A: Optional belt loops. A, C: 13/4" wide purchased belt.

Pattern Sizing: 6 to 20, plus A/B, C, and D cup sizes.

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? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the different options available. I dislike the bodice fit.

Fabric Used: I used a Polyester Georgette and a Polyester Satin as the lining because the Georgette was see through.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: As I mentioned above because I used a fabric that needed a lining for the entire dress I had to line both the bodice, as well as, the skirt.
I also liked view A without the band outlining the top of the bodice. So, I made view A minus the band.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, but I would make sure I paid close attention to the sizing of the bodice.

My version of M6320

Conclusion: I’ve made this dress twice. The dress in this review was the first one that I made. I finished it and tried it on only to have about a three inch gap on the side under the arm of the bodice. So, I had to remove the zipper and re-do the lining to adjust the fit. I adjusted the fit and actually made it too tight but I decided not to touch it again. I’m glad I didn’t adjust it again because it was fine when I wore it out for the first time.

These are the earrings and bracelets that I made from the beaded bucket I bought from "Hobby Lobby". I call this collection; iN Bloom. The colors are so bright and vibrant, it really makes the earrings POP!

This collection will include such things as Jax Color Dangles named after the infamous game Jacks. Did you know this game is also called Knucklebones.
