McCall's 6563: Fitted, pullover, bias tops have draped front neckline, shaped hemline and narrow hem

Pattern Sizing: Pattern sizing is XS-XXL. I made a small.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Somewhat. This pattern calls for woven fabrics and I used a drapey knit so my finished garment looks different from the photo.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes. This is a great beginning sewing pattern.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It went together quickly and is very flattering.

Fabric Used: Polyester ITY knit from Fabric.com

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made view A with view C length sleeves. I added elastic shirring to the sides for more shape and sized down because I used a knit.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes. I did make it again in a rayon knit and I have some photos of it here on my blog.
