The Perfect Holiday Dress: McCalls 7654 / by Brittany J. Jones
Hey Friends!! Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a great productive week so far. I can not tell you how excited I am for this post because its all about the holiday season. I love this time of the year, and even though I have a closet full, I still want something special and NEW for our upcoming holiday events!! Today I’m sharing the perfect dress just for that!!
A couple weeks ago, I was contacted by TÉLIO to do a collaboration, and of course I said YES!! TÉLIO has amazing fabrics plus was in love with their recent collaboration with my sew sister Emily Hallman, so I was really thankful and excited for this opportunity!
Learning that this project would be for a holiday look, I immediately thought of McCalls 7654! This pattern was love at first sight for me! I love all patterns/designs with cold-shoulders and I also love pencil skirt with simple bodice dress so this pattern was a win! I love that its a mix and match pattern so you can have lots of fun creating the dress just for your style!
For fabric, I was sent this gorgeous Mirror Satin fabric (Style 38094- Color 04)! With the shine and drape of this fabric, its perfect for a holiday dress. This fabric has a soft hand and sews up beautifully! I love that it has a subtle texture as well as stretch!! WIN!!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great rest of your week! If you have any questions, let me know below and I’ll be more than happy to answer!!

Blessings

The TÉLIO Collection: Gorgeous Guipure / by Emily Hallman Designs Lace is one of my favorite fabrics. I don’t use it all that often because no matter what you do with it it’s quite dressy and formal, but it still catches my eye at the fabric store, every single time. I don’t have many opportunities […]
The TÉLIO Collection: Emerald Encore / by Emily Hallman Designs The dress in today’s post wasn’t planned. Originally, the folks at TÉLIO and I were going to end this fall series today with two pretty incredible special occasion pieces. Dresses made with yards and yards of satin and lace and a whole lot of horsehair, but this […]

Are designers punking us? It seems like as the days pass we become increasingly accustomed to quirky fashion trends. We readily accept them with open arms and flock to boutiques to purchase our own before they sell-out. Designers from the likes of Moschino, Anya Hindman, and Chanel (to name a few) embraced this humorous trend […]
