McCalls 8711 AX Evening Gown Cocktail Dress Sewing Pattern Sizes 4-6-8

This pattern, number 8711 by McCall's Patterns, offers this wonderfully slinky evening gown in short or long lengths and with varying strap and neckline options. This pattern offers a lot of choices for customization. Make it in a variety of fabrics, from silk to velvet to satin to lace overlay to create unique looks for all those special occasions. The pattern is dated 1997 and is a size 4-6-8, which corresponds to bust measurements of 29.5, 30.5, and 31.5 inches, respectively. It is uncut, still factory-folded, and is complete with instructions. The pattern envelope is a little wrinkled at the corners, but is otherwise in fantastic condition. It's classed as an "easy pattern" so it should be fast to make if you're crunched for time, like most of us are this time of year. This one is even great for year round use, since you can make sun dresses for summer as easily as a satin or velvet number for winter. This is a terrific classic design, with clean, simple lines and lots of great options to customize it. Use sparkly crystal straps or go for a softer ribboned look. It's up to you!
