The Romper/Jumpsuit - Wardrobe Staple - McCalls 6083

I am a big fan of jumpsuits.  Always have been from a little girl.  I remember my Grandmother make my sisters and I yellow jumpsuit with white ruffles around the top and bottom.  Every girl in school wanted one of our jumpsuits (I know it sounds hideous), but it was really cute.  She would always make us rompers for the summer too, in so many different colors.  Well as I got older and my body changed so did my love for jumpsuits and rompers.  But since I have taken a step toward healthier living, my body has become a just a tad bit more jumpsuit friendly.  

Here is the first of many more to come this season:

Happy Sewing!

    Ok, I am traditionally anti-jumpsuit. But I saw you on Pattern review and Honey, you are wearing the heck out of this- you may have created a convert. I love this on you!

    Great Job!! The jumpsuit looks great. I am in the process of making it myself. May I ask, when you cut out the front and back bottoms, did you find that they were different widths??

      Angela, I think they are the same width, but the front is slightly arched upward so the length is longer. I actually added 2 inches to both the front and back.
