Wow, sorry for the delayed reply! (...Hi Anne-Marie! Wow, sorry for the delayed reply! (Blogger filed it as spam. If you ever have any questions in the future, and I don't reply quickly enough, please feel free to use the contact me form at the bottom of the blog so your message is sent directly to my email.) Thanks so much for your compliments :) For what it's worth, you're absolutely right about the notches! I don't see anything about it in my notes, but my pattern pieces has notches on both sides too. What I would, though I expect you've already done this, is just fold under the side that will be to the inside of the garment. I did make a note that I folded it under by 1/2", not 5/8" and stitched in the ditch to finish, so I seem to have done my own thing. Hope you've long finished and love your dress!!

The tweaks you made are genius as most reviews complain about extra bulk on the back hips bc of the pleat. <br /> I’m currently finishing view A so I was super excited to see you’d stolen the view A sleeve band for your dress bc I cannot figure out what they mean and have been scouring the webs for help. It says to turn in seam allowance on unnotched edge of band but if I sew the ends together as the first step says, both unsewn edges have notches based on the pattern piece. Ahh! So confusing...any suggestions?

But, I learn from those too :)<br />McCalls might just be my favorite of the Big 4, but I do tend to opt for cleaner finishes than those listed.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223845206304332317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29461571974467476.post-64498527633583362192018-06-25T23:48:27.461-04:002018-06-25T23:48:27.461-04:00Oh wow, yeah, that pleat is really wonderful.

That's life I guess. : ) I really like the few McCall's patterns I've made though the finishing suggestions are often a bit weird!
