6674 Pattern Description
Misses wrap dresses for knits or wovens Which view and size did you make?
View C, size 12 (34" bust" Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
- Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
- What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Clear instructions, nice illustrations. The view I made (with contrasting edging/ties) needed some understitching to help it lie flat, which wasn't specified in the instructions. That's my only complaint. Fabric used
Woven cotton of some kind... A polin maybe? The trim came from the quilting section. Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
Too wide in the bodice for me, even though the bust measurement was right on. I had to take it in a bit. I would definitely do the next smaller size if I were using a knit fabric. On a windy day, you might need an extra button to keep the skirt all the way closed! Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
