McCall's Sewing pattern 8239 A5 for your dress project

This medium-difficulty pattern is a great choice if you want a dress that feels a little more detailed than a basic make. It features a collared fit and flare style with A/B and C/D cup sizes, so you can choose the fit that works best for you. The pattern also includes a bias-cut skirt, an invisible side seam zip opening, and both long and short sleeves with a gathered barrel cuff.

Choose the version that suits your style

You can make the dress with round, pointed or classic collars, which gives you plenty of scope to adapt the look. That makes this a practical sewing pattern if you like to sew garments that can be dressed up or down with different fabrics and finishes.

Practical details for sewing with confidence

The pattern comes in an envelope and includes English and French booklet text. Unless otherwise stated, there is a 1.5 cm seam allowance included, so you do not need to add seams yourself. It is designed for women and suits confident home dressmakers looking for a project with variety and a polished result.

If you enjoy working with dressmaking fabric and want a pattern that offers flexibility, McCall's 8239 is an inspiring option. Choose suitable cotton fabric, crepe, challis or stable knit fabrics, and make a dress that feels personal to you.
