Bolero Bravo

Capture the glamour of leading ladies of the past in McCall's 4919 (Misses'/Miss Petite sizes 6 to 22), a retro, dart-fitted, knee-length sheath topped with a head-turning bolero. The dress goes to work in wool gabardine, crepe or tweed, or out after five in silk brocade. The trendy bolero, with raglan or set-in three-quarter-length sleeves, traditional or extended shawl collar and lining option, is a real stunner in faux fur (such as the cheetah or mink look-alikes shown), velvet knits or wovens.
