Finished Look M8311 Dress Pattern
Vibrant Greetings!
Here to get the Shetails (my spin on “details”) of me making McCall’s M8311 dress pattern? Well, I’m glad you came to visit!
I made view B using the smallest pattern size but with a few adjustments. I felt the smallest size was too loose for me, so I took in the side seams of both the bodice and skirt. If I were to make this pattern again, I would only take in the side seams of the skirt. I heard the sounds of a few threads snapping as I squeezed my way into the top bodice. The top bodice actually cinches up nicely once the elastic is inserted. Also, I opted to use my coverstitch machine to do all the hems around the dress because I’m not a fan of narrow hems on knit fabrics. Lastly, I added about 6.5 inches in length to the skirt.
I absolutely love the ring attachment. It really brings out the dress, and the wrap-around shoulder sleeve is a yes honey for me! Overall, the instructions were easy to follow, and I would love to make this dress again.
Hope you enjoyed the photos! Feel free to like, share, and subscribe to my blog to be the first to know about my posts. Embrace your S.E.W inside and out!
