McCalls 7199: Drape jacket
I am a sucker for a drapy knit cardi and McCalls really do seem to do the best ones. The sizing is pretty predictable though, I always have to size down a few sizes (I think I'm a 20 or a 22 on the size chart and I made a sz16 here), the arms are always too short and way too tight. There's something a little funky going on at the back of the armhole, I want to wash it a few times though and see if its the fabric being a bit stiff or if I need to trim some off next time. Adjustments; Size 16 2" FBA 3" bicep width 1" to arm length 1" to armscye height 1" back width 1" to hips I like the seam lines on the back especially and I really want to make a contrasting version eventually. I read in the only review on patternreview that the weight of the facings dragged the top forward when wearing so I decided to leave the facings out and left the front edge unhemmed. This meant I stitched the back neck seam the other way ...
