McCall's Sewing pattern 6706 E5 for skirt and petticoat

With this pattern, you can make different skirt versions as well as a petticoat. The skirts feature a waistband, pleats, a side hook-and-eye fastening and a zip, plus a narrow hem for a clean line. Depending on the version, you can work with a shaped back hemline or ties. The petticoat is made with an elasticated waist and a ruffle, adding extra fullness to your project.

Handy details for relaxed dressmaking

This McCall’s pattern includes 1.5 cm seam allowance unless otherwise stated, so you do not need to add it separately. That makes cutting and sewing more straightforward, especially if you are after a simple dressmaking project.

Fabrics suitable for this pattern

This pattern works well with a range of fabric by the metre options, depending on the drape and look you want. Try cotton fabric, linen fabric, viscose, poplin or broadcloth for a smart skirt. For the petticoat, lighter and fuller fabrics are a better choice. That gives you plenty of room to choose fabric that suits your style.
