McCall's pattern M8037.

This stunning evening or special occasion dress features a fitted bodice with a plunging tie front or deep cowl neckline. Go sleeveless or choose the longer sleeves. There's also an option to add a small train to the skirt, which makes this a fab choice for a bridal gown. 

Designed for moderate stretch knit fabrics, this pattern is great for confident beginner to intermediate level makers; you'll get to grips with sewing stretch fabric and draping a cowl neckline.
