Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: LACE FABRIC FOR BODICE; SILK SATIN; CHIFFON. Also needed: ZIPPER, 3 decorative flowers, FUSIBLE INTERFACING.
CUTTER'S MUST
If the patterns have a double contour, they include SEAM ALLOWANCES. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: Seam allowance for the CENTER BACK SEAM (FOR ZIPPER INSERTION) of the garment - 2 cm. Other seams - 1 cm. ATTENTION! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width should be at least 140 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the NOTCHES - they must match! Try to observe the GRAIN LINE direction.

Sewing Instructions
- All FRONT and BACK pieces consist of 3 LAYERS.
- All skirt layers are stitched together along all seams up to the notches at the hip line (from the top to the notches), then layer by layer (this operation prevents unsightly shifting on transparent CHIFFON along side and other seams).
- ZIPPER in the center back seam.
- The ends of the CHIFFON lapel and the underbust band from the notches are finished with a clean edge using a French seam (a thin edge seam with an enclosed raw edge) or a narrow zigzag stitch.
- Decorate the dress with decorative CHIFFON roses.
