Waist: Front and back waistbands, each in one piece, with the seam allowances pressed onto the waistband. Lower front and lower back form the flared peplum.

Finishing: Hem overlocked, turned 1.5 cm and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. A flounce set into a V-neck and caught in the centre front seam, a concealed side zip and bias-bound armholes.

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. Hem allowance – 1.5 cm. Attention! First, 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 details).

- Upper Back – 2 pieces
- Back Waistband – 1 piece
- Lower Back – 1 piece
- Lower Front – 1 piece
- Front Waistband – 1 piece
- Upper Front – 2 pieces
- Back Flounce – 1 piece
- Front Flounce – 2 pieces
