McCalls 8715 from 1967


McCalls 8715
year was 1967


I fell in love with the illustrations on this envelope long ago - and my own daughter hasn't even grown into this size yet! But - circumstances came up and I got to use it last night. I made it in the top view for my niece Elizabeth, who lives in Minnesota. It was extremely simple and easy to alter to what fabric was on hand. I used it as a 'safety' pattern because I can't get there to try anything on her and the A-line shaping means it is very likely to fit her. Her mom measured her around the chest and it came out to match this pattern. The last dress I had made her she had outgrown and was pretty upset about it! Auntie sewer to the rescue.
