I just bought this pattern now on a whim. As much as I like sewing and wearing knit dresses, I do miss the slow process of fitting and muslins. Although I wear my finished knits quite often, it doesn’t feel as rewarding to finish knits as it does to finish my older vintage projects. I’ll definitely have to tweak the styling so it looks more modern and edgy, but this might just be my cue to go back to a modern and less costume-y way of sewing and wearing vintage patterns.

As for McCall’s 7262, I’ll have to alter this so it’s somewhat wearable, but I picture it mixed with sheer chiffon dressses and lace skirts, and transitioning into the Fall with tights, layers, tall boots and sweaters.
