Pattern Info

Pattern info for this project can be found here:
McCalls 6605

Instructions

Upsized from 24 to 32!

I used the longer version with the bow front, so I needed to modify the back neckline. I interfaced the bias band that extends into the tie ends in the neck area only and sewed it down to the neckline seam by hand on the inside.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Plus-sized

Style: Classic


Materials

Silk organdy & laundered wool gabardine

What was your inspiration?

I wanted a new outfit for Thanksgiving! I bought the purple shoes several years ago, so I needed a purple outfit. I bought the wool gab a year ago, and just recently found coordinating blouse material. I have lavender linen in my stash for warm weather pants that will also go with the blouse.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take my class, Plus Size Pattern Fitting and Design!
