McCalls 6612: Knit Maxi Dress

Oh my goodness has it been busy, but I am happy to say that I have made one dress and am almost completed another. I will say it was a quick turnaround since I completed most of them within one day.

Instead of drafting my own pattern, I chose to use McCalls 6612. What drew my eye? The cowl neck. I’ve always loved those. I did make a few mods, mine is a bit more fitted than what is featured on the envelope sleeve and I will be adding a lining. Additionally, I’ve decided to make a cowl neck shirt and so I most likely will create my shirt pattern some time today.

Rave reviews

If you remember, I said I was making this outfit for an upcoming banquet. Well, that event was held this past Saturday, and I must say that I had a really great time.

See the fabric above? That’s the material I chose for the banquet. The patterned material was a bit too dressy for this event. I will say it was a great choice. I received compliments on my outfit from my date, and others, mentioned that they really loved the outfit I made. I wore it to the annual banquet that he invited me too. I even purchased a nice pair of shoes and a nice purse to match.

I’ll be sure to post pictures some time this week.

    I can’t wait to post them. I am hoping to do that sometime this week. Well, I do have one picture that was taken at the actual event, but we both were sitting down so you really only see the top part of the outfit.
