McCall's Sewing pattern 7985 B5

McCall’s Sewing pattern 7985 B5 gives you a versatile women’s outfit with a culotte, top and tunic in one pattern. It is designed for sizes 34 to 42 and is a great choice if you already have some sewing experience and enjoy making pieces you can wear together or separately. This sewing pattern is supplied in an envelope and includes instructions in English and French, along with a size chart to help you choose the right fit. The pattern is rated medium difficulty, so it suits you if you are confident with dressmaking projects and want a clear, well-structured pattern to follow. The design works especially well in softly draping fabrics that suit the relaxed silhouette. Fabrics by the metre such as linen fabric, cotton fabric or lighter blended fabrics are all good options, depending on the look you want. A fabric with enough fluidity will help the culotte, top and tunic hang beautifully and feel comfortable to wear. The top and tunic feature a loose fit with a self-faced yoke, forward shoulder, upper and lower fronts with an inside casing for a drawstring, a neckband, front button fastening and narrow hems. View A and C include sleeves. View B has a bias tape armhole finish and purchased trim. View B and C have a shaped hem, and View C also includes a collar and side slits. The straight-legged, semi-fitted pull-on trousers have an elasticated waist, side seam pockets and stitched hems. If you are looking for a dressmaking pattern that gives you plenty of styling options, this McCall’s design is a practical addition to your haberdashery projects. It lets you sew a coordinated outfit or create individual pieces for a more flexible handmade wardrobe.
