This was the first dress I’ve made! I love how it turned out, and the pattern is so simple it’s ridiculous.
Altered from McCall’s M5617:
added ribbon belt and altered back to cut straight across with elastic to hold in place (the front and back are supposed to be identical)
cotton/wool knit with just a bit of stretch, cut on the bias
Novice
Stitch studio (Cincy, OH) for providing the pattern
Editors' Pick
Mysterious burgundy red, peppy yellow, and delicate pink join forces in this collection
Pattern of the Week
Quilted look jersey gets extra detail from raised seam lines to make this turtleneck high fashion!
