Hello All
If you are looking for an easy dress pattern for instant gratification, then this one is for you. This dress is McCall’s 7533 and I absolutely love it. This dress was easy to sew and it came together very quickly. I had been looking for a loose-fitting dress and pattern and when I saw this I knew it was the one. This dress is comfortable and you can dress it up or down. I will be the first to tell you that I am not a dress person (I have a ton of dress patterns though) but when I decided to make one I want it to be easy and comfortable.
I purchased this scuba knit fabric from Hancock Fabrics before they closed. This fabric feels amazing and it sewed like butter! The boots are from Aerosoles, I purchased them last year during a fabulous clearance sale. I love Aerosoles because they are super comfortable! Check out the pattern review below.
