Inspiration Comes from the West Coast & Other Updates
I was inspired by a true Blog Fashionista and
Designer Mimi Goodwin when she rocked the modified McCall’s6519 dress C. She made it in black and white zebra print and I remebered
that I had picked up and ITY knit at Spandex House about 3 months ago in NYC
for $6 in this cool brown and ivory ITY knit.
So I said all hail to the Fashionista from the west coast, Thanks for the
Inspiration and bringin the Style. I cut it out 2 weeks ago sewed it up this
weekend.
I modified it by making the tie out of some ivory polyester fabric. I will post more pics when I get it paired with jewelry and my strappy sandals.
McCall’s 6519
Pattern
Description: Dress has fitted, blouson, slightly gathered bodice. C
and skirt D: wrap, right front pleats, back darts and purchased
ribbon.
Pattern Sizing: I cut the 10
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, are easy to follow
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Stylish collar and a wrap dress I can wear it to different venues
Fabric Used: ITY Knit Print
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Well as you can see I added sleeves because I did not like the sleeveless look after I tried it on so thankfully I had enough fabric to draft some sleeves but you could use any sleeve from a fitted shirt pattern and make it work to save time. I also shortened it a quite a bit because you know I like it shawt! lol
Would you sew it again? Yes,I am plan to make it in a solid color or another print
Would you recommend it to others? Yes
Conclusion: A cute and comfortable dress I love it
Thanks Mimi
