McCall's Sewing pattern 7946 D5

McCall’s Sewing Pattern 7946 D5 is an easy dressmaking pattern for women, designed to give you plenty of styling options in one project. Make a soft, feminine dress with an elasticated upper edge and waist, shaped with bias tape casings for a neat finish.

Choose from several versions to suit your style. View B and C include sleeves with elastic at the shoulders and lower edges, while View C and D add a lower ruffle. View D also includes shoulder straps that extend into ties, giving you a lighter, more adjustable look.

This sewing pattern comes in sizes 38 to 46 and is a practical choice if you enjoy dressmaking with room to personalise the details. The pattern is rated easy, making it a reassuring option if you want a straightforward project with a polished result.

For the best finish, choose a light, fluid fabric by the metre such as cotton fabric, viscose or linen. These fabrics work well with the relaxed shape and soft gathers of the design.

McCall’s pattern 7946 D5 includes 1.5 cm seam allowance unless otherwise stated, so you can get started with less measuring and trimming.
