Mauve Straight Skirt


Pattern Description:  McCall's 5523  straight skirt, mid-knee length, has side zipper and faced waistline; view A has shaped lower back flounce



Pattern Sizing: 4-18

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that it has several styles in the one pattern.

Fabric Used: Mauve polyester poplin

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Added 1 1/2 inches to waist, 3 inches to hips, and 1 1/2 inches to length.

Would you sew it again? Yes
Would you recommend it to others? Yes

Conclusion: The skirt is short so measure the hemline and make adjustments before cutting.
