Neckline: Features a flattering V-neckline at the front (with a centre front seam in the upper front), while the back presents a refined high, rounded neckline and a centre back seam in the upper back.

Ruffles: Elegant cascading ruffles frame the front V-neck, extend gracefully over the shoulders, and continue along the back neckline for a cohesive, feminine touch.

Waist: a structured waistband cinches the waist, creating a clear division between the bodice and the peplum.

Sleeves: Sleeveless design with armholes finished with bias binding; the shoulder flounces add decorative coverage.

Closure: An invisible zipper is neatly integrated into the left side seam, ensuring a smooth and concealed fastening.

Hem: The top finishes with a gently flared peplum, offering a flattering silhouette.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires precise execution of ruffle application, careful V-neckline finishing, and confident invisible zipper insertion.

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).

From main fabric:
- 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

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Stitch the center back seam on the upper back, press allowances to the left side and overlock.
Stitch shoulder seams, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Stitch the shoulder seams of the Front Flounces and Back Flounce, press the allowances open and overlock. Overlock the outer edge of the flounce, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Clip the Front Flounce at the mark. Place the flounce right side to the wrong side of the front and back, and stitch it into the neckline. Start and end the stitching exactly at the marked line of the center front seam. Press allowances and overlock. Baste the flounce to the front along the centre and lower edges and continue to treat as one piece. Stitch the center front seam, press allowances open and overlock.
