Pattern

Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: dress fabrics with elastane added, made from natural or blended fibers. You will also need: elastic lace 10 cm wide, decorative piping (approximate length indicated on the upper front pattern piece), bias binding.

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: dress hem allowance – 2 cm, sleeve hem allowance – 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). ATTENTION! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.

• From main fabric:
  • Front piece 1 - 1 piece
  • Front piece 2 - 1 piece
