McCalls 6957: Royal Blue Swing Dress!

As I stated numerous times before.  I am not a dress wearer, until NOW.  I am loving dresses and seeking them out more.  I find they hide a multitude of body issues (mine I mean).  

I originally bought this Royal Blue Ponte to make a jumpsuit.  I never got around to it so its been sitting in my stash for at least a year. I wanted something summery enough that I could also transition into fall and wear.  

I've been eyeballing this pattern for months, but I have been so busy with client sewing for prom season I totally forget about it.  I pulled it out and cut out my size and just laid it off to the side.  

So I had a brief moment in between projects and decided to go ahead and make my dress, and I love it.  Its simple yet chic and I can't wait to pair it with tights, boots and a sweater or leather jacket this fall.  

And she's done!  Royal Blue Swing Dress!  Simple and chic!  Will share styling shortly so stay tuned!  Details on the blog soon, blog address in profile  #Itsmelaniedarling #sewologist #seamstress #sewing #sewist #sewcialist #sewingblogger #asewinglife #i

Royal Blue Swing Dress in its simplicity.  Love how simple yet cute it is!  Great for summer office days, and I can't wait to put on some boots, leather jacket and scarf with it!  #m6957 #mccallpatterncompany #Itsmelaniedarling #isew #imadethis #imakemyow


Happy Sewing!

    Lovely dress. Not only do they hide "sins" they can be very comfortable and are very cool in the heat. I live in scrubs at my job, but at home in the summer I am either wearing a casual skirt with a T shirt, or a casual dress. So much cooler than jeans, and so much nicer than shorts......
