This wrap dress is made out of Butterick B 6703, view C and an easy pattern! My fabric of choice was a DTY Polyester/Lycra floral paisley print. This fabric has a silky soft hand, lightweight with a fluid drape. The fabric laundered well and sewed up beautifully for perfect early fall beautiful dress.

I chose this super soft Double Brushed Polyester/Lycra floral knit to make a cute fall dress. I used McCall’s M7353 with a small cowl neck. It just screams autumn to me. I loved the print and it was super easy to sew on. I used Fabric Mart’s iron on interfacing for knits on the neck edge and also on the sleeves. When it came time to put the cowl neck on I had to get out of my own head, because I kept thinking I needed to put it on differently than the pattern said to. But alas, the pattern is correct! It washes up terrifically and no ironing required! I even managed to make a scrunchy for my hair out of the same fabric.

I also made a pair of leggings out of Black Viscose/Lycra Novelty Knit. I didn’t read all the instructions on care, and so I tumble dried the fabric on medium instead of hanging to dry. After the shrinkage I thought I would not have enough to make McCall’s M7874, but guess what? I did! And they are the most comfortable leggings I have ever had. I’m in love with them.
