Fabric Recommendations

Choose lightweight and draping fabrics that will enhance the ruffle and sleeve details:

  • Silk
  • Viscose

Additional Supplies

  • 5 buttons
  • Elastic tape 0.7 cm wide

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 for the bottom of the garment – 1.5 cm, hem allowance for the sleeve – 2 cm, 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

  • From main fabric:
    • Center back - 2 pieces
    • Side back - 2 pieces
    • Front - 2 pieces
    • Side front - 2 pieces
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces
    • Collar – 2 pieces
    • Back neckline facing – 1 piece
    • Front facing – 2 pieces
  • From fusible interfacing:
    • Front facing – 2 pieces
    • Back neckline facing – 1 piece
