Intermediate. This project involves techniques such as sewing contoured seams, inserting a concealed zipper, and finishing with a neat neck facing.
For optimal drape and comfort, select dressmaking fabrics with a soft hand and good body, such as:
Fabric recommendations: dress fabrics made of natural or blended fibers. You will also need: fusible interfacing, concealed zipper.
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 dress bottom and sleeve bottom – 3.0 cm, allowance along the slit – 2.5 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
