McCall's Sewing pattern 7971 A5

Make a beautifully fitted dress with McCall's Sewing pattern 7971. Designed for women in sizes 32 to 40, this dressmaking sewing pattern is a great choice if you want a polished result with room to personalise the look.

The dress features a lined, fitted bodice with hook and eye closures and a centre-back invisible zip. You also get length variations, so you can adapt the style to suit your project. Separate pattern pieces are included for cup sizes A/B, C and D, helping you achieve a better fit.

Pattern B includes a sleeve with a ruffle, while pattern D has an armhole ruffle and a left front slit for a more distinctive finish. It is an intermediate-level pattern, ideal if you already have some dressmaking experience and want to sew a feminine shape with clean details.

This pattern includes 1.5 cm seam allowance unless otherwise noted, so you do not need to add it separately. For the best result, choose suitable fabrics such as cotton fabric, jersey fabric, viscose or other dressmaking fabrics with enough structure or drape, depending on the version you are making.
