Maxi dresses are pretty much my summer staple, so it stands to reason I'd want to continue wearing them through the winter-- even though I've read that the winter maxi should be "avoided like the plague".
Anthropologie has this one I'm fancying: the Varvara Maxi Dress. And when I spotted McCalls 6433, I knew that if I were to attempt to make a Varvara inspired dress, M6433 would be the pattern.
And, as I've already mentioned, McCalls is conveniently the next 99-cent pattern sale at JoAnn. All I need to find now is the right Kilim, Southwestern, or Pendelton-blanket inspired heavy knit that won't break the bank. Have you seen any?
