McCall's 6503 Review
I loved making this dress. It was as easy as the pattern envelope says. Clear instruction, nothing too tricky. Just read and follow. There are about three parts that call for hand-stitching but you can always use steam-a-seam or other iron-on hem stuff.
I used a brown and white smocked cotton madras print that included silver threads throughout. When using a smocked fabric, remember that it stretches. Treat it that way for sizing.
The dress only required a couple of pattern alterations. It is easy to fit because it isn't supposed to be tight and you don't have to mess around with hips.
The only other change I would do next time is to use an invisible zipper on the side zip.
Wouldn't these shoes look great with that dress? And they are on sale!
Love it!
