Introducing a fitted stretch knit dress pattern featuring a gathered scoop neckline and voluminous, shaped sleeves with gathered cuffs.
This dress offers a blend of comfort and elegance, making it a versatile choice for:
Silhouette: a comfortable yet fitted silhouette that gently skims the body, ending just above the knee.
Neckline: a soft, gathered scoop neckline created by easing the front fabric for a gentle drape.
Sleeves: Voluminous, two-piece long sleeves featuring a distinctive seam extending from the underarm to the neckline, gathered at the cuffs for a softly puffed effect.
Back: Features a clean line with a center back seam and shaping darts for a tailored fit.
Hem: a simple, straight hemline that finishes the dress just above the knee.
Intermediate. Involves working with stretch knit fabrics, creating gathers, and finishing edges with bias binding.
Choose medium-stretch knit fabrics for the main body of the dress and a complementary stretch fabric for the sleeves:
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: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance for the dress - 1.5 cm; hem allowance for the sleeve and neckline – 0 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
Attention! The neckline binding pattern is necessary to equalize the neckline length. Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
