So I finished up McCall 5425 and Mr. Right says to me "Oh that must be your out of town dress?" That's his way of saying I look sexy! LOL
I found this dress was easy to make and can be varied quite a bit to give several looks from casual to night out on the town.
I bought the fabric from JoAnn's. It is a silky print that I fell in love with. The sizing on the pattern was pretty true to size. I normally cut out a 12 but I did a 10 this time because I wanted it to fit a little slimmer in the body.
The dress looks like the pattern picture but a little more dressy and fabulous. LOL
I found the instructions VERY easy to follow and recommend this dress for any beginner.
Since I used a silky poly fabric I wanted the straps to have more form and structure instead of being all limp across my shoulders. I went ahead and put a little interfacing on the strap and I really like the way it came out. I also cut out the shorter version basically merging the two views together.
I would definitely sew this again.. It makes for a great "run to the mall with dressy flats" outfit.

Girl too cute. I LOVE the fabric you used.
Fabulous! Your dress looks so much better than the envelope!
Alrighty. So, the envelope, kind of cheap and tacky. You, absolutely delicious! Love. It.

You go girl! The dress looks great.... Like everyone else said, it's much better than the pattern. I woulda thought more casual but I love the casual/ dressy look you gave to it.
You look HAWT gurl!!
LOL @ what Mr. Right said!
Soooo cute! Fabric? To die for!
What a great looking dress on you! You have the cute figure that can wear almost anything you want. Great job.
Run to the mall??? You look way to great to be running to the mall in that outfit :) . Have Mr. Right take you out to dinner instead!
Very cute. The fabric and colors and great on your complexion and I like that you cut it in a shorter, trendier length. Great job!!
Gorgeous and very sexy indeed. I have that pattern and never thought of using it. What a clever idea to use such fabric, it immediately brings that dress to life!
That is one *HOT* dress - definitely opt for dinner with Mr. Right and not the mall girl! :-)
A lovely look for a lovely woman. Very nice.
Your dress is beautiful! I really love that fabric. I used it on a much different dress. It is interesting to see it used in such a different way.
I love that pattern too! Mine was black and beaded for New Years!
