Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: dress fabrics made of natural or blended fibers. You will also need: bias binding in a contrasting color (approximate length indicated on the front pattern piece), zipper, 3 buttons, fusible interfacing.

CUTTER'S MUST

IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS DO NOT INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: hem allowance – 2 cm, outer allowance of flounce and rosette – 0 cm, all other seams 1 cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED. WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!

3. Fold the flounce pieces right sides out and align the edges. Bind the outer edge with bias binding and press. Similarly, finish the upper edge of the rosette.
4. Attach the flounce to the princess seam of the left side front, observing the marks. Attach the upper edge of the flounce to the shoulder seam (up to the mark). Fold the rosette in half, aligning the short crosswise edges. Attach the short edges of the rosette to the shoulder seam over the flounce, aligning the open edge of the rosette with the princess seam of the side front. Fold the free end of the rosette into a spiral, positioning the spiral between the round marks. Stitch the left princess seam. Overlock the allowance and press towards the center. Stitch the right princess seam of the front. Overlock the allowance and press towards the center.
