Patchwork Twirl Dress. McCall's M6497

Last summer my daughter was with me on a pattern shopping trip and found this sweet dress.  I told her  it would be no problem to whip up.  (I was thinking about what a clever way to use up some scraps.)

I did make this at the end of last summer, but it was so large (size 8) I put it away for this spring.

A few notes about this dress if you have a cutie that wants a patchwork dress:

1.  It doesn't take a few scraps to make this dress, but almost 6 yards of fabric.
2.  It runs VERY large.
3.  The directions for putting together the patchwork skirt are "interesting."  
4.  It doesn't have a placket in the back.  The back bodice is sewn to the skirt.  Since it is so large, I doubt anyone will have problems with trying to get it onto a little body.

Can you see the 6 yards of fabric?

      I loved Lyn Weeks so much I signed up for her pre-day class at SAGA convention! I can't wait to finish Frannie.
