Fabric Recommendations

Achieve the desired drape and comfort by selecting knit fabrics with good stretch and recovery:

Medium to low stretch knit fabrics, such as jersey, rayon, or modal blends, preferably with good drape

Additional Supplies

Knit tape or bias binding, 4 cm wide (length specified on pattern piece)

Cutter's Must

From main fabric:
Back – 1 piece on fold
Front – 1 piece on fold
Lower trim strip – 2 pieces

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.

Sewing Instructions

Stitch the right shoulder seam of the back and front. Serge the seam and press towards the back.
Along the neckline edge, sew a basting stitch with loosely tensioned stitches and gather. The gathering amount is indicated on the pattern pieces. Finish the neckline with bias binding. Stitch the left shoulder seam. Serge the seam and press towards the back.
On the side seam, clip the seam allowance near the notches. Stitch the side seams of the back and front from the notches to the bottom. Serge the seams and press towards the back.
Fold the lower trim strip pieces right sides together and stitch into a loop along the short sides. Fold the trim strip in half lengthwise, right side out, and press. Along the side edges of the trim strip, sew a basting stitch with loosely tensioned stitches and gather to 16-18 cm.
Along the bottom edge of the back and front, sew a basting stitch with loosely tensioned stitches and gather. Equalize the length of the bottom edge of the back and front with the trim strip edge. Attach the trim strip, serge the seams, and press upwards.
Serge the armhole edge, fold under, and topstitch.
