McCall's Sewing pattern 7941 A5

This McCall's sewing pattern is a challenging project for women who enjoy detailed dressmaking. It is designed for cosplay, a dress or a costume with a clearly historic feel, inspired by the early 19th century. You can make either Dress A, with a lined bodice and lace detail on the sleeves, or Overdress B, with a lined, boned bodice, a gathered skirt and beaded fringe trim. Both versions close at the back with hook and eye fastenings. The pattern includes a 1.5 cm seam allowance unless otherwise stated, so you can focus on fit and finish rather than adding seam allowances yourself. It is a great choice if you are looking for a dressmaking pattern with character and an elegant silhouette. This sewing pattern is suitable for sizes 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. For the best result, choose fabrics with a beautiful drape, such as silk, chiffon, cotton or cotton blends. A toile is recommended for this more difficult pattern, especially if you want to check the fit carefully before cutting your final fabric by the metre. A strong choice for confident makers, this McCall's pattern gives you the freedom to create a striking historical-style garment for cosplay or a special occasion.
