Many times I come across beginner sewers who believe that it'll take some time before they'll be able to tackle a project that's cool, fun, and something they'll actually want to wear. Not to knock pajama bottoms and tote bags, but it's understandable if a lot of sewers have bigger and better visions on what they want to accomplish with their new sewing skills. To those people, let me introduce you to McCall's 6754. This dress rocks (hence the name) and it's an easy dress that can be completed by a beginner. Yes, you can do this! And if you're still unsure, don't worry, we have a full length tutorial here to show you exactly how it's done.
The dress is simple but still has a lovely style. It's made with a knit lace and a tricot lining. Since both the lace and lining are stretchy, there are no fasteners so this dress is simply a pullover. The bodice is body hugging with a scooped neckline and the skirt is circular so there's enough fullness for twirling. We loved taking this dress and rocking it out, but the style is versatile that you can really take it any direction.

This really lovely! I wouldn’t mind to make this one for me.
I love this dress. So cute and functional. I would love to make it!
Love this dress! Looks great styled with the belt. Looking to make something for a beginner that’s stylish. This would be ideal. 🙂
What a cute pattern and the lace overlay add another dimension to the dress. I like it.
I have been wanting to learn how to sew for years, so now I have your awesome videos and a fabulous giveaway to get me started with a bang. Thank you so much!
Hi Professor Pincushion. You, and you alone, are teaching me to sew at 41. I watch everything you tape. Probably more than a few times for each one just so that it sinks in. I love this rocker dress. It’s fantastic! It’s a little more than I am able to make still, but winning a hand-made item by you would truly make my day. 🙂
I wish that I could hire you to give me private lessons. Please keep making new videos. I’m counting on you!! <3
I love the lace knit!
VERY cute dress! Would also be cute with a lightweight t-shirt under it.
I would definitely rock this dress as is! Perfect for the AZ summer heat.
