MCCALLS 6696 : LIBERTY KEVIN
McCalls 6696 : Shirtdress
Liberty of London Tana Lawn in Navy Kevin
This is not my first constellations dress and it probably won’t be my last. I have a thing for stars. This Kevin print from Liberty is in my top 10 fav Liberty prints of all time. I have metres and metres of the grey colourway that I plan on making a pajama set with. Deluxe!
I am in love with this dress. I made a sleeveless chambray version of this pattern last summer and I knew I would make another one. This is a dream shirt dress pattern – lovely full skirt with pleating, side seam pockets, sweet gathering on the back bodice and a built in waistband which adds to the perfect silhouette. Sleeveless dresses are great for summer but I find that I don’t wear them as often as my dresses with sleeves, so this dress needed sleeves. I love this dress even more with sleeves! It works for any occasion. Dressy, but casual, a vintage vibe and also very comfortable.
I’m off to my cousin’s wedding shower today and I feel perfectly dressed.

A perfect pairing. That’s a lovely silhouette. I especially love the pleats in the back.
Enjoy the wedding shower!
I love this dress! Such a great pattern and the fabric makes it dreamy.
It’s a greta dress and you did a lovely job of the sewing. Well done.
It is a great print.
What an amazing dress, full of interesting details and so beautifully made! The fabric is exquisite and you look so elegant wearing it, Karyn. I love watching what you make.
I’m half way through this dress at the moment… Just realised that I want sleeves, will have to source some more fabric! I hope it turns out as well as yours, fits perfectly
