Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope when you were done? Yep
Were the instructions easy to follow? This is fast and easy. I love skirts that don't take very long to make including cutting time. I prefer pockets so may add them next time.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None.
Would you sew it again? Yes. I will be making the other views too.
Would you recommend it to others? Most certainly!

Were the instructions easy to follow? I LOVE this top and this pattern will be added to my TNT list (Tried-and-True) The top is pretty straight forward.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None. I did however create bias binding for the armholes using scraps from my skirt.
Would you sew it again? lol, oh yeah.
Would you recommend it to others? Yes.
Now that is my kind of outfit! It look great on you. Really really awesome!

ReplyDeleteLove it. I never know which way you're coming...so many great looks.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit for the fall!!
ReplyDeleteI love this fit!..you look so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this look! I just cut out a sheer brown, full skirt...! This blouse I have cut out,too...definitely gotta finish now, love the look!
ReplyDeleteI love this look! I have made this top in the past but I felt that it had too much fabric in the tie area, but yours looks great
ReplyDeleteVery very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMimi the McCall's pattern in 6650.
ReplyDeleteOne of my absolute favorite patterns is M6650. That polka print is everything hun. Loved how you styled it. Werk it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable top
ReplyDeleteI made the top to wear with the high waist pencil skirt. I put it on Flicker awhile back. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely top. And I so wish I could make something similar for myself...I still have an inordinate fear for chiffon fabrics. I just might give it a try with a less temperamental fabric. Oh and the skirt is great too...I love the little clusters that create pleat-like details.
ReplyDeleteLooking great! one question though, what is the difference in that skirt and the circle skirt video you made?
ReplyDeleteit's longer of course other than that?
CLASSY! So Ms. Audry Hepburn!!!! A video tutorial would be great for both.
ReplyDeleteLovely ensemble. I like the length of the skirt and the look of the blouse. Longer sleeves on the blouse would work nicely too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love how you styled it!! AMAZING. Very sophisticated. I recently did a post on the full skirt too. Its a fabulous trend!

Absolutely wonderful but I could not help thinking how quickly I would break my neck, or a hip, in those gorgeous heels! Do you know the fiber of the fabric you used for the skirt? Lovely, as is the blouse. Did you get a hair cut? It looks adorable. In think we have yet to see a bad photo of you (you must be the most photogenic person in the world) and you look great in every single thing you make. I have spent the afternoon wondering what to wear to my 50th high school reunion in April and think I have decided on a dress and jacket. That way, when I start to roast, which will happen, bless the hot flashes, then I can take the jacket off and be cooler. Deciding what I would wear made me face how little I actually go out anymore, other than food shopping or to Barnes & Noble for my chai fix as well as to feed my magazine love. It is sad, but I think I have dressed up once in the last 5 years. Sad, sad. Maybe making this dress and jacket will start me back to sewing,but first, back on The Zone to lose some more weight before I put the time into sewing.
