I made this dress using McCall’s 6074 as part of a beginner’s sew along I hosted on my blog. The pattern was definitely very easy to follow, and the fabric I was working with behaved well (which isn’t always true for knits, in my experience).
The sew along lasted 4 days and starts here.

I’ll definitely wear this dress again (not just for car shopping)! Though it was an exciting occasion for my new dress. I might make a few more variations of this dress. It was really simple :)
