DIY easy dress Mccalls 7969




My relaxed and lightweight handmade dress that is just perfect for this month. I was so happy to try the minerva exclusive viscose challis and I didn't have to think twice about choosing this pattern when I saw this fabric. The pattern was free to download from mineva.com when you register with the minerva newsletter in July. Sorry for any of you if you’ve missed the chance, but I believe there will be another chance if you can keep yourself updated. It is super easy to sew and The fabric is easy to treat. I am so excited to share my sewing review. 









  • What size did you make?

I used size S , option A and needed 2.5 meters of the fabric. This is a relaxed, loose fit. I don’t think you need to worry about the fit. I only shortened the length. 

  • What fabric did you use?

This is a very quality viscose challis. It is light , soft, silky and drapes nicely. I didn’t need to use lining. I really love the textiles. The dreamland tigers were everywhere on the fabric when I spread it out on my cutting table. It is much better in real life than in pictures. It’s a shame my camera can’t capture how nice it looks.

  • What adjustments did you make and how long did they take?

I didn’t amend any parts except shortening the length and adding side pockets. It only took a day to make this dress. 

super easy to sew, I highly recommend! 

  • What was the construction process like?

It was easy to understand. There is no zipper or interfacing needed.  I only needed to gather the fabric.

  • Did the instructions make sense to you?

Yes! Sewing beginners can try !

  • How do you like the pattern’s fit? Do you think the design works well for your particular body shape? 

I love the fit. It is a bit bulky so that is why it is super comfy but at the same time very cute & trendy. I can wear it with trendy chunky boots or simple sneakers. The fabric really goes well with this kind of fit. I highly recommend trying minerva challis if you have any plan to make silky dresses.

  • Will you make the pattern again? If so, what fit or design changes will you make?

Yes. I would love to use this pattern again. I will make a long dress next time and make bigger puff sleeves.
