McCall's Sewing pattern 8266 A

McCall's Sewing pattern 8266 A is an easy girls’ dress sewing pattern in sizes 74 to 104. It gives you a smart yet playful dress shape, ideal if you want a reliable project with room for your own fabric choice and finishing touches.

The design includes three variations so you can tailor the look to suit the occasion. View A has a pointed collar and short sleeves. View B features a ruffled round collar, puff sleeves and a wide ruffled hem. View C has long sleeves with a gathered opening. It is a versatile choice for a dressmaking project in cotton fabric, poplin or another woven fabric by the metre that holds its shape well.

A practical bonus: seam allowance is included at 1.5 cm unless stated otherwise, so you can sew with a little less measuring and a little more confidence. This makes the pattern especially approachable if you are newer to sewing, but still useful if you simply want a straightforward, well-finished result.

Whether you are making an everyday favourite or a special outfit, McCall's 8266 A gives you a simple foundation for a pretty girls’ dress with room for your own style.
