McCall's Sewing pattern 6817 KID

McCall's Sewing pattern 6817 is a creative sewing pattern for girls' carnival and cosplay outfits in children’s sizes 98 to 134. It includes options for a dress or a cape, giving you plenty of scope to make a striking costume with elegant details.

The pattern is aimed at sewists with some experience and comes with 1.5 cm seam allowance already included, unless stated otherwise. That makes the sewing process more straightforward, so you can focus on the fit, finish and the fun of making a special outfit.

The dress versions feature a fitted bodice, princess seams and a flared silhouette. Depending on the version, you can add neck ruffles, lacing, sleeve details and lower sections for extra shape and drama. The cape option includes a collar, neck band, elastic at the wrist and a neat front opening finish.

This dressmaking pattern works well with fabrics that have some body, such as cotton fabric, satin or velvet. It is also a good project if you want to use fabric by the metre to create a costume that feels unique and well made. The instructions are supplied in English and French.
