DIY STRIPED DRESS USING MCCALLS #8037

HI DARLINGS! I am so smitten with this striped dress I made using McCalls #8037, which I made and posted before HERE. I wanted to make it again but I wanted it to be less dressy so I made the shorter version. I took it up 4″ because I am not that tall so I needed to shorten it so it was mid-calf on me. The dress is fun and easy to sew and although I like this deep neckline on me you can certainly modify it to close up the center front a bit.

I used a striped fabric from MELANATED FABRICS which is a dream to sew! It has great stretch, It is not super thin, and feels wonderful. It’s our STRIPE PERLA KNIT which we have in stock, we also have it in a few solid colors too.

For those who sew, such tips are truly invaluable because they help avoid common mistakes and achieve the desired result. By the way, in the professional sphere, it is also important to approach interactions with people and potential customers correctly. For sales teams and SDRs on LinkedIn, Dripify…
