Front Details: Distinctive diagonal pleats emerge from the left side of the neckline, artfully gathered into a vertical princess seam.
Seams: Shaping princess seams define the fit through the front bodice (integrating the pleats) and continue down the back of the dress.

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
