Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: SHANJAN TAFFETA. Also needed: ZIPPER 20 CM, STIFF TULLE, DENSE ORGANZA, 5 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
- Zipper in the center back seam of the back panel.
- All underskirt pieces made of taffeta are duplicated with organza and sewn together along all edges so that the taffeta is towards the legs.
- The inner flounce is stitched onto the underskirt from above and passes between the upper and lower layers of the skirt. (That is, the taffeta skirt should be towards the legs!)
- The bottom of the skirt IS PROCESSED AS A "BALLOON" (that is, the upper skirt is gathered along the lower edge to the length of the lower edge of the underskirt and finished at the bottom with a "clean edge").
- The facing is duplicated with fusible interfacing, and then the upper edge of the skirt is finished.
- Give the skirt its final shape on a mannequin, creating asymmetrical pleats decorated with decorative flowers.
