This week I'm sharing my latest make and new favourite dress sewing pattern McCalls 8507 in a high quality cotton poplin leopard print dressmaking fabric from Europe. The sewing pattern and fabric are available to buy on our website and I've included links for everything below. This dress sewing pattern was so easy to sew and fit thanks to the elastic casings used to cinch in the neckline and the waist. They were so easy to sew and the elastic can be inserted then cut to size for an easy fit. I've already worn is twice since sewing it about a week ago! It has a very plunging neckline, but it is easy to adapt that to suit your own personal preference by hand sewing the centre front together with a slip stitch, which is exactly what I did. I love the way the cotton poplin gives it a bit of structure and volume, but I've also suggested some softer, drapier fabrics in case you prefer those. I highly recommend this pattern and will definitely be sewing it again!
