Fabric Recommendations

Choose dress fabrics with appropriate stretch and drape for optimal comfort and fit. The pattern is drafted in two versions; select the one matching your fabric when ordering:

  • Woven dress fabrics made from natural or blended fibers with added elastane (e.g., stretch gabardine, stretch crepe, stretch wool blends).
  • Slightly stretchy knit fabrics made from natural or blended fibers (e.g., ponte roma, stable jersey, compact interlock).

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

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; back and front hem allowance – 3 cm; sleeve hem allowance – 2.0 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 pieces).

  • From main fabric:
    • Back – 2 pieces
    • Front – 1 piece
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

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