McCall’s 6394
Pattern Description:
Lined dress, sleeveless, short sleeves, or 3/4 length
sleeves, can be sewn in one single fabric color, or color blocked. McCall’s
6394 can be sewn with a deep V-neckline or rounded neckline. The pattern has
options for A, B, C, and, D cup sizing.
Pattern Sizing:
6-14.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope
once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, my version looks exactly like View C. I added a fabric made with the Charcoal Grey Ponte De Roma.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
The pattern instructions were clear and I did read them
thoroughly, but I changed several things and sewed without referring to them.
The pattern envelope has "EASY" in bold letters on the front and I
would disagree with that. I don't think a pattern with 11 pieces and right
angled yokes should be considered easy. It is not difficult to sew, but someone
with limited sewing experience might become very frustrated trying to construct
this "EASY" pattern.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I loved the overall silhouette and the trendy color-blocked
design.
Fabric Used:
Tan moleskin purchased at JoAnn’s Fabrics several years ago and
Charcoal Grey Ponte De Roma purchased from Vogue Fabrics online.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I did my usual 3/8” shoulder adjustment at the back shoulder
seam and added 4” to the length.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I plan to make it again in a solid black and houndstooth
check. I would not recommend this pattern for a beginner sewer.
Conclusion:
I love this dress !! I receive compliments each time I wear
it.
