Fabric & Materials
Fabric recommendations: dress fabrics made of natural or blended fibers in two colors.
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: all seams 1 cm; ATTENTION! FIRST OF ALL, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!

Sewing Instructions
- Stitch darts on front pieces. Trim depths, press allowances upwards. Cut a tie equal to bust circumference, 4 cm wide. Fold the tie in half lengthwise and press. Press edges to the center. Stitch the edges of the tie and cut into two equal parts.
- Place outer and inner front pieces right sides together, inserting the tie into the upper part of the side seam. Face the neckline, armholes, side edges, and bottom edge. Clip allowances on curves, trim corners, turn right side out through the shoulder seam and press.
- Fold waistbands in pairs right sides together and face along three sides. Trim allowances at corners and turn right side out.
- Place outer and inner back pieces right sides together and face the neckline and armholes. Trim allowances on curves. Align shoulder edges of front and back, inserting the front piece between the back pieces. Stitch shoulder edges.
- Face the flying panels, inserting the waistband. Face the bottom edge, leaving an opening. Turn the dress right side out through the opening. Hand-stitch the opening closed.
