McCalls Misses’ Wrap Dresses and Belt 7406

This is the first wrap dress that I have ever made and the #sewtogetherforsummer Instagram challenge was a good opportunity to give this style of dress a try.
I was pleased with this McCall's pattern. Sometimes the sizing can be a bit generous with some of the 'big 4' sewing patterns, but this one fitted me well and was true to size. It is described as a 'learn to sew' pattern, and whilst there are no buttons or zips, there are some challenges which I think would make it a pattern better suited to someone who has a little sewing experience behind them.
It is also the first time that I have made a project with flutter sleeves. Be aware that these sleeves are very fluttery, and make sure that your seams are finished neatly inside your sleeve as they will be visible if you raise your arms.
I like that the belt tie is a separate piece. Sometimes on a wrap dress this is attached to the dress, but on this pattern it is a separate item which threads nicely through belt carriers. For extra security the inside wrap of the dress is secured out of sight with a ribbon.
It does come up quite short - I am only 5'2" and I hemmed the tiniest hem, so this would fall above the knee on anybody taller than me.
All in all, a lovely wrap dress which is fairly quick and easy to make. I used a crepe from Minerva Crafts for this project and it was perfect!
