I have been on a sewing rampage! I have a month off between the end of teaching summer school and the new year beginning, so I am using my free time to sew.
I busted out McCalls 5926 in a couple of hours, including a hand sewn hem, and tacking down facings.
(the one on the left)
I made it with zebra print quilter’s cotton. (I don’t love quilter’s cotton, but jo-anns is the only option and the selection is pitiful.) It is a smaller print and in dark grey and beige, so very neutral.
This is a dress for work, and I think it is super cute. I was afraid it would look sausagey, since it is a 10, and I am not in high school and no longer have a 24″ waist. I would say it has about 2 inches of ease, and it fits nicely.

Very cute! Are you planning to make the jacket too?
Love, love, love – very cute dress!
Cute dress. Love the fabric idea.
This is great – I love how the print is actually quite subtle at a distance.
tHIS IS AMAZING, i CAN'T BELIEVE IT ONLY TOOK 3 HOURS TO MAKE–YOU LOOK GREAT!
Soooo amazing! I love that pattern and your finished dress…ack!!! A couple of hours and the McCall's?! I need at least a month and step-by-step instructions. I have a McCall's pattern, but I have to improve before tackling that one. Congrats!!!!!!!
Very nice! Animal print is always in style.
Wow, that's great! You look awesome, and the fabric you chose is just perfect for the style.
