Introducing a chic women's sewing pattern for a short-sleeve dress featuring elegant princess seams, a dropped waist, and a charming pleated skirt.
Silhouette: A fitted bodice with elegant princess seams transitions to a gently flared, pleated skirt from a dropped waistline.
Neckline: A classic round neckline, designed for a clean finish.
Closure: An invisible zipper closure is set into the center back seam for a smooth and discreet appearance.
Sleeves: Short, set-in sleeves offer comfortable arm coverage.
Decorative Detail: Two prominent decorative tabs with button accents are positioned at the front, highlighting the dropped waist seam.
Back: The back features vertical princess seams and a center back seam with the invisible zipper, leading down to the pleated skirt section.
Waist: A distinct dropped waist seam provides a modern silhouette, connecting the bodice to the skirt.
Length: The dress finishes above the knee, offering a contemporary and versatile length.
Intermediate. Requires confident sewing skills, including pleat formation, princess seam construction, invisible zipper insertion, and setting sleeves and facings.
For optimal drape and structure, we recommend dress-weight fabrics with a good hand:
Women's fitted dress, cut at the waistline, with set-in sleeves, above-knee length. Front and back feature princess seams. The bottom of the skirt has inverted pleats. The back has a center seam with a zipper closure. The neckline is rounded and finished with a facing. The sleeves are short and set-in. Straps are sewn into the side seams and fasten with buttons.
Fabric recommendations: dress fabrics made from natural or blended fibers. You will also need: a concealed zipper; fusible interfacing; 2 buttons.
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 for the garment bottom and sleeve bottom – 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical parts).
When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
