Tech. Description

Halter Neck Flared Asymmetrical Hem Dress

Introducing a sophisticated halter neck dress featuring a gracefully flared silhouette, an elegant asymmetrical hem with cascading front flounces, and a diamond-shaped upper back panel with a tie strap.

When To Wear

This versatile dress is designed for comfort and elegance, making it an ideal choice for:

  • Summer Events: Perfect for garden parties, casual weddings, or sophisticated daytime gatherings.
  • Resort & Vacation Wear: An ideal choice for holiday wardrobes, beachside dining, or cruise ensembles.
  • Everyday Chic: Easily dressed up or down for a stylish yet comfortable warm-weather look.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Flared, loose-fitting a-line silhouette with generous volume, flowing freely from the bust.

Neckline: Halter-style neckline: a single long tie is threaded through the casing along the upper front edge and through the loop at the top of the upper back panel, forming adjustable straps that are tied in a bow.

Back: Features a low back with a diamond-shaped Upper Back panel that carries the tie loop; the upper edge of the back skirt is gathered with elastic thread.

Hem: Asymmetrical, uneven hem, finished with a narrow rolled hem.

Detailing: Two flounces inserted into the center front seam cascade down the front of the dress.

Waist: Uncinched, flowing freely from the bust for a relaxed and comfortable fit.

Closure: No zipper or buttons: a pull-on style held by the adjustable tie and the elastic-thread shirring along the upper edge of the back skirt.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Involves techniques such as sewing with elastic thread, constructing a casing, and precise hemming for the flounce and asymmetrical hem.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose flowing dress fabrics with good drape to enhance the silhouette:

  • Dress fabrics made from natural or blended fibers

Additional Supplies

  • Lining fabric
  • Elastic thread

Cutter's Must

  • From main fabric:
  • Upper Back – 1 piece
  • Back Skirt – 2 pieces
  • Front Skirt – 2 pieces
  • Flounce – 2 pieces
  • From lining:
  • Upper Back – 1 piece
  • Back Skirt – 2 pieces
  • Front Skirt – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

  1. Cut the tie and the loop from the main fabric (by measurement). Tie: 4 cm wide, 150 cm long. Loop: 4 cm wide, 4 cm long. Fold lengthwise in half, right side out, and press. Unfold, press side edges towards the center, and fold in half. Stitch 0.1 cm from the edge.
  2. Place the Upper Back pieces (main fabric and lining) right sides together and stitch the long sides of the diamond and the top section, inserting the loop. Turn right side out and press.
  3. Finish the bias and lower edges of the Flounces with a narrow rolled hem. Stitch the center front seam of the Front Skirt pieces, inserting the Flounces. Press seam allowances to the left and serge.
  4. Stitch the center back seam of the Back Skirt pieces, press seam allowances to the left and serge. Stitch the Upper Back to the upper edge of the Back Skirt.
  5. Stitch the side seams, press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
  6. Assemble the lining pieces in the same way as the main fabric pieces. Place lining and main garment right sides together and stitch the upper edge. Then, starting 1 cm from the seam, stitch the rest of the upper edge all around, stopping 1 cm before the seam on the other side. Turn the dress right side out and press. Topstitch 1 cm from the upper front edge, creating a casing.
  7. Finish the lower edges of the dress and lining separately with a narrow rolled hem.
  8. Along the upper edge of the Back Skirt, from the side seam to the Upper Back, sew a line of stitching using elastic thread in the bobbin. Thread the tie through the casing and the loop.
