Hey Everyone, I’m kicking off the Prom Gown Sew Along today 
Super excited because I have the opportunity to make a dress for my daughter…and share the details along the way! Today I want to show you all the important information on a pattern envelope, how to pick a good size to start with, and share some thoughts about picking out a pattern that reflects the style of the dress you are going to make.
I haven’t working with a commercial pattern in a LONG time… I was very pleasantly surprised when I pulled out the instructions to McCall’s Pattern No. 6893 There is a lot of great stuff included. For example, there is a “paper doll” section where you can trace the pieces of the dress and put them together to create your own unique design.
…I’ve also started to adjust the pattern pieces, and they seem to be more realistic when compared to a women’s figure than I remember. Stay tuned, on Thursday I’ll show you how to adjust the pieces and create a fit muslin.
If you have specific questions about fabric, picking a pattern, sizing or anything else, please let me know. I look forward to working on this project with you
