McCall's Sewing pattern 7071 A5

McCall's Sewing pattern 7071 A5 is a versatile dressmaking pattern for women who enjoy a detailed project with a strong historical feel. It includes a close-fitting, lined jacket, a fitted blouse and a semi-fitted skirt, giving you everything you need to create a coordinated outfit for cosplay, themed events or a dramatic special-occasion look. The jacket features a collar, sleeve heading, waistband and shaped peplum with back pleats and a slit. The blouse has a collar, inset, ruffles, sleeve bands, a shaped hemline and button trim. The skirt includes a waistband and applied, lined ruffles cut on the crosswise grain. Style B and C also include an invisible zip and narrow hem. This pattern is rated medium, making it a rewarding choice if you already have some sewing experience and want a project with character. Seam allowance is included unless otherwise stated, so you can sew with more confidence and focus on the fit and finish. For the best result, choose dressmaking fabric with enough body to hold the shape. Fabrics such as brocade, taffeta, jacquard or satin will suit the jacket and skirt especially well. Depending on the part you are making, lighter fabrics or lining fabric may also work beautifully. If you like projects with structure, detail and a strong silhouette, this sewing pattern is a great addition to your haberdashery plans.
