Christmas Outfit #13 - McCall's 6396

For this year's annual Christmas outfit, my daughter has picked McCall's 6396.  She really like the asymmetrical skirt and that fact that it was different from a lot of what her friends wear.  She also chose a brushed plaid flannel for the fabric. 

Between her measurements and the pattern measurements, I ended up cutting a straight size 10, no alterations.  For the skirt, I lengthened it 6", and I'm still not convinced that will be enough, we'll see. 

As far as the cutting, I will warn you, this is a single layer layout.  There is no way to cut two of each piece or the front on the fold.  The bodice/skirt seam is totally asymmetrical, and no two pieces are a like. 

I did get the bodice assembled for a quick fit to see if I needed to make any changes.  Thankfully, there were none - it looks pretty good as a size 10, in the smallest cup size (this pattern also has the multi-cup sizing).  So far, everything seems well drafted and the pieces fit together nicely, too.

Tomorrow I will get the lining assembled and the zipper installed and if things go well, I might get this done by the end of the week!

Parting Shot:  Leftovers.  My husband and I went hiking the day after Thanksgiving, and I brought along a piece of leftover pumpkin pie for the summit.  It was a great snack!
