McCalls 6559

I too am on the McCalls 6559 bandwagon. I call it the McCalls Mission Maxi. With only two pattern pieces, it's too easy! I made a  small FBA and raised the neckline 1". I also raised the armhole 3/4" because I felt it was much too low. It's a little shorter than I'd like but I didn't want to lengthen the pattern because I didn't know how much it would "drop" from the weight of the fabric.  All in all, I still love it. I wore this yesterday and got dozens of compliments.





The fabric is either from Fabric Mart or Fabric.com and I'm sure I only paid $1.99 a yard for it. There will certainly be more of these in my wardrobe this summer.
