This elegant dress pattern features a sophisticated fit-and-flare silhouette, highlighted by a unique asymmetric collar and front button detail.
This versatile dress is perfect for creating a polished and sophisticated look, suitable for:
Silhouette: a flattering fit-and-flare design, closely fitted through the bodice and waist, then gracefully flaring into an a-line skirt.
Neckline & Collar: Features a distinctive asymmetric collar, where one side sweeps into a pointed lapel, while the other smoothly curves to meet the front button placket.
Closure: a functional front placket with five buttons and a concealed zipper closure at the center back.
Sleeves: Elegant three-quarter length set-in sleeves, offering coverage and a refined line.
Pockets: Integrated curved pockets at the front hip, blending seamlessly into the design lines.
Front: Shaping is achieved through curved princess seams that run from the armhole down to the waist and hip, enhancing the silhouette.
Back: Defined by a center back seam and curved princess seams extending from the armhole to the hem, ensuring a tailored fit.
Hem: The skirt finishes at knee-length, with a gentle flare.
Intermediate. This pattern requires experience with collar construction, setting sleeves, installing a hidden zipper, and creating buttonholes.
Choose well-draping dress fabrics that offer both structure and graceful movement:
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 dress bottom – 2 cm, placket allowance for the left front – 3 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).
When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Attention! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.
