McCall’s 4536 is an original Easy McCall’s sewing pattern from 1989 featuring a stylish misses dress with three attractive variations. The pattern is marked Size D and includes vintage McCall’s Sizes 12, 14, and 16.
Part of McCall’s Cut-to-Fit line, this three-size pattern gives the sewist multiple cutting lines for choosing the appropriate size. The dress has the polished, feminine silhouette associated with late-1980s fashion while offering enough versatility to create anything from an office dress to an elegant special-occasion outfit.
Pattern Details
McCall’s 4536 features a softly shaped dress with a blouson-style bodice, defined waist, and straight skirt falling approximately to the knee.
Three views provide different neckline and sleeve treatments.
View A creates a sophisticated dress with a V-shaped front neckline, long sleeves, and a defined waist. The envelope shows this version styled with a belt for a polished, tailored appearance.
View B offers a lighter version with short sleeves and a simple front neckline with a narrow opening. It can also be belted to emphasize the waist.
View C features long sleeves and a simple rounded neckline with a narrow front opening. The envelope shows this version with a wide wrapped or sash-style belt for a dressier appearance.

Three dress variations
Blouson-style bodice

What You’ll Love
McCall’s 4536 has the versatility that makes vintage wardrobe patterns so useful.
The three variations provide options for different seasons and occasions. The short-sleeve version could make a lovely spring or summer dress, while the long-sleeve versions are well suited to fall and winter wardrobes.
The relatively simple silhouette also allows the fabric to become the focus. A rich solid fabric could create an elegant work or dinner dress, while a print could give the pattern a more casual personality.
Another advantage is the Cut-to-Fit multi-size format. Instead of containing only one vintage size, this pattern includes Sizes 12, 14, and 16, giving the sewist additional sizing and fitting possibilities.
The dress can also be styled in several ways after it is sewn. Change the belt, jewelry, shoes, or jacket and the same dress can take on a completely different appearance.
Vintage Pattern Sizing – Please Measure Before Purchasing
Vintage sewing pattern sizing is generally smaller than modern sewing pattern sizing and today's ready-to-wear clothing sizes.
This pattern contains vintage McCall’s Sizes 12, 14, and 16. Do not assume that a vintage Size 12, 14, or 16 corresponds to the same size in today's sewing patterns or clothing.
Please take your current body measurements and carefully compare them with the measurements printed on the vintage pattern envelope before purchasing to ensure proper sizing.
Body measurements rather than the printed size number are the best way to determine whether a vintage sewing pattern will fit your needs.
