McCall's Sewing pattern 7896 A5

McCall's Sewing pattern 7896 A5 is a versatile dressmaking pattern for women, designed for an intermediate sewing level. It gives you plenty of room to create your own look by mixing and matching the pattern pieces.

Choose from gathered bodice and midriff overlays, a strapless bodice, a split-front bodice with boning, and gathered or trumpet skirts. The dress is fully lined and features an interfaced bodice and midriff, boning, and an invisible back zip with hook and eye.

This is a practical project if you enjoy sewing a more structured dress with a polished finish. The pattern comes in an envelope, and the instructions are in English and French.

It is ideal if you want to work with fabric by the metre for a dress that feels personal and well finished. Suitable dressmaking fabric choices include cotton fabric, jersey fabric, linen fabric, viscose and other fabrics with enough drape for the variation you choose. For the best result, select a fabric that matches the shape and structure of your design.

Includes 1.5 cm seam allowance unless otherwise noted, so you do not need to add it yourself to the seams.
