McCalls Children’s/Girls’ Dresses 6915

Pattern Review Pattern Description: Fitted tops and dresses have sleeve and length variations I made view B which features a true wrap front bodice with wide waist ties and back darts, sleeves with tiered pleats and gathered openings sewn into cuffs and a peplum. Pattern Sizing: 6 – 22 I cut a size 18 through the shoulders and bust and graded out over the waist. 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 love the finished top. It’s a very unique take on a white shirt (at least my version). Nothing to dislike. It’s a great sew. Fabric Used: White cotton poplin. I found I had to use a size 70 Schmetz needle to sew this fabric. Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added 3 cm to the depth of the peplum. I let the peplum hang once I had finished sewing the top for a couple of days prior to levelling the hem and hemming. I definitely wouldn’t want it any shorter. I did a 1 inch FBA which brought in a bust dart which measured a massive 4 inches in width! I rotated the dart into the shoulder and converted the fullness to gathers. The FBA also lengthened the front by 2.5 inches (again, my usual FBA’s which are never more than 1 inch would not normally lengthen by this much), so I lengthened the front facing accordingly and also increased the width of the front peplum by 1 inch to match the FBA. 0.5 inch sway back adjustment, adding removed length to back peplum hem. Staystitched neckline – instructions don’t mention this. Moved position of tie up. Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I think I can say I won’t sew this particular view again: it’s such a distinctive look. I might try one of the other views? Maybe? Yes, I recommend if you like this look. Conclusion: A great statement top to wear with jeans, and a very interesting sew.

PLEASE NOTE; the pattern number is actually McCalls 7627. I have no idea how to add that number to the site or how to change the number that is shown! :-) You can always head over to my blog to check out more pictures. Blog: sewmanju.com
