Asymmetrical Ruffle Sleeveless Top

Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: soft, well-draping double-sided knit fabric with medium or low stretch, made from natural or blended fibers, or soft, well-draping double-sided dress fabrics with added elastane.

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 – 1.5 cm, armhole and back/front neckline allowances – 1.0 cm, outer flounce edge, short flounce edge and inner flounce edge up to the mark – 0 cm, other allowances - 0.7 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.

• From main fabric:
  • Right back part – 1 piece
  • Left back part – 1 piece
  • Left front part – 1 piece
  • Right front part – 1 piece
  • Flounce – 2 pieces

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.

Sewing Instructions

WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!

1. Overlock the outer edge, short edge, and inner edge up to the mark on the flounce with a thin rolled hem stitch.
2. Stitch the right shoulder seam, overlock, and press towards the back. Overlock the neckline edge, press to the wrong side, and topstitch.
3. On the right front part, along the princess seam from the top to mark “O”, create and secure even pleats. Stitch the front princess seam, inserting the flounce between the pieces from the lower mark to the upper edge (the left front part is longer than the right by the amount of the shoulder seam allowance).
4. Stitch the back princess seam, inserting the flounce between the pieces from the lower mark to the upper edge (the left back part is longer than the right by the amount of the shoulder seam allowance).
5. Stitch and overlock the left shoulder seam. Stitch the side seams, press allowances towards the back, and overlock.
6. Overlock the bottom edge of the garment and the armhole edges. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
7. Tie the free ends of the flounces into a bow or secure them to the shoulder seam.
