Introducing a refined midi-length dress pattern, elegantly shaped with vertical princess seams and featuring delicate lace raglan sleeves.
This dress is designed for sophisticated occasions, making it an ideal choice for:
Silhouette: a sleek, gently fitted silhouette achieved through vertical princess seams on both front and back, running from the raglan seams to the hem.
Neckline: a graceful rounded neckline with a small keyhole slit at the centre front, finished with bias binding.
Closure: Zipper at the centre back seam, set under the seam allowances so that the teeth are hidden.
Sleeves: Long raglan sleeves made of front and back sleeve pieces, cut from a contrasting stretch guipure lace for an elegant and distinctive detail.
Waist: Softly defined at the natural waistline by the contouring effect of the princess seams.
Hem: a clean, straight hemline that finishes at a sophisticated midi length, below the knee.
Intermediate. Requires skills in constructing princess seams, attaching raglan sleeves, binding a neckline with bias tape, and inserting a zipper.
Select the following fabrics for this design:
Cut a bias strip 4.0 cm wide for the neckline binding.
Tip: To keep the fabric stretchy in the areas of finished seams, stitch the cut pieces with a narrow zigzag or special stretch stitch. To keep the bottom edge stretchy, overlock the hem allowance, then stitch it using a twin needle. The same applies to finishing other edges of the garment that should not lose elasticity. These recommendations do not apply to industrial production.
