Review: McCall's 6744 | An Ethnic Print Summer Dress!

I've had this pattern for a while and finallly decided to make it.  I'm going to add this one on my list of patterns that I could kick myself for not making sooner.  What's wrong with me? 

This is McCall's 6744, as if you need the number.  It's been reviewed many times.  If you google the pattern number, you'll be dazzled with all of the fabulous versions of this dress.  And versatile it is!

I love the shape of the dress.  It's the perfect design to pair with a great fabric choice in which it doesn't mind taking a backseat and allowing a great print like this one to have the leading role.

My fabric is from Mood Fabrics and it's by the fabulous designer Thakoon.  I've already had a love affair with his prints and this one falls right in line.

As beautiful as this print is, this is a tissue-weight, cotton jersey.  So that meant to me, that it must be lined.  When I posted this on my Instagram and Facebook page, I was surprised as to how many people weren't aware that knit garments could be lined.  Or what fabric to use to line them.  First and foremost, NEVER, EVER line a knit garment with a woven lining!  You'll end up with hurt feelings when your garment that you've put time into constructing will not fit!   Here is the perfect lining for your knits and jersey garments.  And Hancock Fabrics has their lingerie tricot which is also a good option.

I love this little dress.  I know that I'll probably almost wear it out before the weather is cold!
