Tech. Description

Sleeveless Asymmetric Wrap Dress

A sleeveless women's wrap dress with a lapel collar, princess seams on the bodice front and back, a flared skirt with an asymmetric cascading front edge, and a tie belt that passes through an eyelet.

When To Wear

Summer days, at the office or in town, with sandals or flat shoes.
Daytime gatherings and lunches; the tie lets you set the waist each time.
In spring and autumn over a thin top or under a cardigan.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted bodice with a waist seam and a flared skirt.

Length: Below the knee.

Collar: Lapel collar forming a V-neckline, with no separate collar piece; finished with interfaced front facings joined to a back neckline facing.

Front: Wrap front; the right front overlaps the left. Each upper front is cut in two parts with a princess seam.

Closure: A tie belt is sewn into the left side seam at the waist and passes through an eyelet on the right front. The underlap is held by a buttonhole and a hidden button on the left front.

Back: Upper back with princess seams and a centre back seam; lower back with a centre back seam.

Skirt: Flared; the overlapping front edge falls in a curved, asymmetric line. Front edges and hem are overlocked, turned and topstitched.

Finishing: Armholes finished with a 4 cm bias strip folded in half and topstitched along the fold on the inside.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Princess seams, a facing that finishes the front edges and the neckline in one pass, bias-bound armholes, an eyelet and a hidden button.

Fabric Recommendations

Dress fabrics from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (front facings, back neckline facing, eyelet and buttonhole areas)
1 eyelet
1 button (hidden)
Bias binding, 4 cm wide (or cut from the dress fabric)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance for the dress bottom — 1.2 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
