McCall's Sewing pattern 7742 Y

McCall's Sewing pattern 7742 Y is a simple dressmaking pattern for a very loose-fitting women’s dress with a calm, feminine look. It is suitable for sizes 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40, and comes in an envelope with instructions in English and French.

The dress is shaped with front and back yokes and gathers, giving you a flattering outline without compromising comfort. The different sleeve variations let you adapt the style to suit the season or the fabric you choose.

This pattern is rated easy, so it is a great choice whether you are making your first dress or you want a quick, satisfying project. Seam allowance of 1.5 cm is included unless otherwise noted, so you do not need to add it yourself.

For the best result, choose a fabric with a soft drape, such as cotton fabric, viscose, or linen fabric. A light dress fabric will help the relaxed shape fall beautifully. If you are looking for fabric by the metre or a versatile sewing pattern to build a comfortable everyday dress, this is a practical choice.
