McCall's Sewing pattern 8087 E5

McCall's sewing pattern 8087 E5 gives you a feminine dress design with plenty of room for variation. It is made for women in sizes 40 to 48 and is a medium-difficulty sewing pattern, so it suits you if you enjoy a project with a little more detail but clear pattern pieces to follow.

The design features an elastic, off-shoulder bodice with a ruffle, plus a skirt with several gathered tiers for a soft, flowing shape. Version A has long sleeves, while version C includes a halter bodice. That makes this dressmaking fabric project easy to adapt to your style and the occasion.

This pattern works especially well with fabrics that drape nicely, such as viscose, linen fabric or other fabric by the metre with a light, fluid fall. Choosing the right cotton fabric, jersey fabric or other suitable dressmaking fabric will help the gathered tiers and bodice shape stand out beautifully.

The pattern includes a 1.5 cm seam allowance unless otherwise noted, so you do not need to add it separately. It comes in an envelope and includes instructions in English and French.
