One Shoulder Diagonal Seam Dress

Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: KNIT fabric in 3 colors with medium stretch, made from natural or blended fibers.

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: Hem allowance - 2 cm; armhole allowance 1.5 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! ATTENTION! Markings on the patterns are given on the right side.

Sewing Instructions

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is stitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

1. Mark and stitch the dart on Front 1. Trim the excess with an overlocker.
2. Stitch all princess seams of the front. Finish the allowances.
3. Stitch the center back seam. Finish the allowance.
4. Stitch the side seams and shoulder seam.
5. Finish the armhole edge, fold inwards and topstitch.
6. Fold the facing in half lengthwise and stitch the ends, strictly to the marks (on both sides). Clip the allowances and attach to the neckline of the back and front.
7. Finish the bottom edge of the dress. Fold the allowance inwards and topstitch. Tie a bow.
