The vintage McCall's bolero pattern arrived last week!

The pattern is WAY too small for me (who has a 28.5 inch bust anyway?) but serves as a nice jumping off point. I'm grading the pattern up and will hopefully be into fitting next week. The way I see it, the sooner I can get through my DIY wedding projects, the less stressful September will be!   

Note: NYFA director, Terry Horlamus, published an article on pattern grading in Threads magazine that is an amazing resource! Terry teaches us grading using the same methodology she developed in the article and I am consistently referring back to it.
