Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires working with knit and lace fabrics, gathering techniques, and applying bias binding to curved edges.

Fabric Recommendations

For the main body, choose knit fabrics with a medium degree of stretch, and for the sleeves, select delicate lace with elastane to maintain flexibility and drape:

  • Medium stretch knit fabric
  • Guipure lace with elastane

Additional Supplies

  • Knit bias binding

CUTTER'S MUST

From main fabric:

  • BACK PANEL - 2 QTY
  • FRONT PANEL – 1 QTY on fold
  • Neckline FACING — 1 QTY

From main fabric 1:

  • Back part of SLEEVE – 2 QTY
  • Front part of SLEEVE – 2 QTY

ATTENTION! The neckline FACING pattern piece is necessary to equalize the neckline length. Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are sewn 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 sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.
