Choose luxurious fabrics to highlight the dress's elegant design:
waist approximately 108 cm.
Recommended fabrics: fantasy silk fabric embroidered with beads and sequins or printed fabric for the top, elegant, dense silk fabrics, satin or sateen for the skirt. You will need: fantasy silk fabric; silk fabric for the skirt; lining fabric; dense, soft fusible interfacing; a 40 cm long invisible zipper.
Attention! First of all, print 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). Cutting: From main fabric:
From lining:
From fusible interfacing: front center, front side, back center, back side. If the fabric is without beads and sequins, duplicate the pieces. If it has beads, baste the fusible interfacing to the wrong side of the cut pieces and treat them as single-layer thereafter.
Recommendations for working with beaded fabrics. The recommended fabric is embroidered with beads and sequins. Before stitching seams, remove beads from seam allowances up to the seam line, and at the seam line, secure them with a couple of stitches to prevent them from unraveling. Before stitching seams on a sewing machine, it is advisable to install a special zipper foot so that the foot slides only along the seam allowances where the beads have already been removed. Otherwise, you can sew the seams by hand with small, dense backstitches; in this case, it is not necessary to remove beads from the seam allowances.
