Review on Authentic McCall's M6097 Victorian Dress Costume 👗 Sewing Pattern, Sizes 6-12: Recreate Historical Elegance for Women by Denise Davis

This is a whimsical pattern. You have to buy a lot more finishes than indicated on the box. I used over 10 yards, not 7. Fabric count was accurate, no issues. The pattern is SMALL. I had to do the sleeves 6 times before they were right. The sleeves are also Anne Boleyn sleeves and quite heavy. You might want to consider making the sleeves out of gauze instead of the heavy fabrics offered. The pattern calls for hooks and loops, but you'll use loops instead. Another quirk. If you've never sewn a busty, then you won't be taught. I had to get creative because the instructions were sparse, to put it nicely. I love love love my finished dress! I'm going to wear it to the big Halloween party.
