McCall's Sewing pattern 7626 D5

With McCall's Sewing pattern 7626 D5, you can sew a close-fitting dress, romper or jumpsuit with plenty of room to tailor the look to your own style. The pattern offers four variations, giving you a flexible base for anything from smart and polished to relaxed and casual.

One especially practical detail is that this McCall's pattern includes a 1.5 cm seam allowance unless stated otherwise, so you can get started without adding seam allowance yourself. That makes preparation simpler and helps you move straight on to the sewing.

This is a good choice if you enjoy dressmaking and want a project with a neat finish and a flattering shape. The different options for straps, pockets and length let you create a fresh result each time, all from one sewing pattern.

For the best result, choose a fabric with good drape and enough structure, such as gabardine, cotton blends, denim or wool blends. Depending on the version you make, a lining fabric may also be useful. If you are looking for fabric by the metre for a personalised garment, this pattern gives you a strong starting point.

Supplied in an envelope with instructions in English and French, this medium-difficulty pattern is designed for women in sizes 38 to 46. A PDF size chart is also included to help you choose with confidence.
