Silhouette: Semi-fitted through the body, offering a comfortable yet structured feel, contrasted by voluminous sleeves.
Neckline: a wide boat neckline provides a graceful and open finish.
Sleeves: Voluminous sheer sleeves cut in one with the pleated yoke, joined by a seam along the top of the shoulder and arm, and gathered at the hem with elastic in a casing for a balloon effect.
Yoke: a distinctive sheer yoke with stitched-down horizontal pleats spans the front, back and shoulders, flowing into the sleeves for a cohesive and elegant design.
Hem: The garment finishes with a straight hem for a clean and adaptable style.
Intermediate. Requires precise pleat formation, accurate handling of knit and sheer fabrics, and confident elastic casing construction.
Achieve the perfect drape and comfort by selecting fabrics with complementary characteristics:
Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine. When serging with an overlock, trim seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm.
