wvsher said... The one you posted the pic of is really cute! I have found that McCall's & Butterick tend to run large. I have learned to check the finished garment measurement instead of going by body measurements. Unfortunately, sometimes the only finished garment measurement they give you on the pattern envelope is completely useless, such as the diameter of the bottom of a skirt. ??? But the pattern pieces themselves should have a finisehd meaurement for that piece, and you can compare that measurement to the measurement of a similar garment that fits they way you like to determine if you're going to get a reasonable fit or need to go to another size. 4/24/08 10:33 AM
