Introducing a women's sewing pattern for a chic jersey sheath dress, distinguished by an elegant cascading collar-flounce down the center front and long raglan sleeves.
This sophisticated sheath dress is designed for a range of occasions, offering both style and comfort, making it an ideal choice for:
Silhouette: a classic sheath silhouette, gently fitted through the bodice and skirt with princess seams for a flattering, elegant line.
Neckline & Ruffle: A double-layer collar-flounce in contrasting thin wool rises softly around the neck and cascades down the front, set into the center front seam to create a distinctive focal point.
Sleeves: Long two-piece raglan sleeves with a seam along the top of the arm, ensuring a neat and polished arm line.
Back: Designed with a clean back, featuring a center seam and princess seams for a shaped and fitted profile.
Closure: No closure; designed for pull-on wear, facilitated by the stretch jersey.
Length: Falls gracefully to a sophisticated knee-length, appropriate for various settings.
Intermediate. Requires experience with sewing knit fabrics, precise assembly of princess seams, and attaching a double-layer collar-flounce to the neckline and center front seam.
Choose fabrics with a medium stretch for the main dress body and a thin wool for the collar-flounce to ensure proper drape and shape:
No additional notions are required.
Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are sewn 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 sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
