Knit Dress McCall's 7465

Good Morning Everyone!  In case you haven't noticed I am not much of a writer, I'm an accountant blogging about sewing.  I am going to try a little harder to provide more content.

I have made the McCall's M7465 and what a great pattern!  Unfortunately, due to the Iowa weather I haven't worn it yet.  I am still in ultra warm, layered clothing!



My fabric was in my stash just waiting for the right pattern.  It is a lovely soft weight knit.


The dress has a separate top and bottom sewn together with an elastic casing, very basic construction.  The bodice included the sleeves which I really liked, another simple feature.

I felt the dress was a little short with no room for a hem so I added an extra 2 inches and was able to provide an adequate hem.

In summary it is a great pattern and I love the finished dress, I am very excited to wear it and plan to make a few more for summer.

Thanks for reading and I welcome all questions and comments.
