Design
McCall 8067 buttons all the way down the front to a rounded collar, with a belted waist marking the transition to a skirt built for movement - a triangular inset at center back opens into extra fullness beyond what the side seams alone would give, sweeping to roughly 94" around the lower edge at Size 16. View A offers long sleeves, View B short sleeves with contrast armbands (and an optional collar), and View C long sleeves with a fitted cuff. Fourteen pattern pieces are included.
A Moment in Fashion History
The triangular back-skirt inset on McCall 8067 was a practical way to build genuine fullness into a garment without cutting the entire skirt from wide circular panels - a construction shortcut still delivering the fitted-waist, full-skirted silhouette that had come to define fashion in the years following Dior's 1947 New Look.
