Pattern #2017
Tech. Description

Taffeta Organza Bridal Skirt

Introducing a stunning made-to-measure bridal skirt featuring a sleek high-waist silhouette that transitions into a voluminous, asymmetrical high-low hem adorned with elegant floral details.

When To Wear

  • Occasion: Bridal ceremonies and receptions.
  • Occasion: Formal evening events or galas requiring a distinctive ensemble.
  • Occasion: Themed photoshoots or special occasions desiring a statement garment.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: High-waisted and fitted through the upper portion, flaring dramatically into a voluminous, asymmetrical high-low hemline.

Waistline: Designed to sit high on the waist, providing a flattering and structured foundation.

Hem: Features a dramatic high-low cut, short in the front and sweeping into a long, layered train at the back. The voluminous lower skirt is constructed in a 'balloon' style with gathered ruffles and a clean-finished edge, detailed with a delicate scalloped trim along the extended back portion.

Back: a graceful, extended train creates a dramatic statement, emphasizing the skirt's unique high-low silhouette.

Embellishment: Three decorative fabric flowers are strategically placed on the front/side panel, accentuating the skirt's asymmetric folds.

Closure: Features a concealed zipper closure centered in the back seam for a smooth and seamless finish.

Level Of Difficulty

Advanced. Requires confident sewing skills, including multi-layer assembly, intricate 'balloon' hem treatment, invisible zipper insertion, and precise shaping for a tailored fit.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose fabrics that offer structure and body, suitable for voluminous shapes and fine details:

  • Taffeta, such as Shanzhan Taffeta
  • Dense Organza
  • Rigid Tulle or Netting

Additional Supplies

  • 20 cm zipper
  • 5 decorative flowers
  • Fusible interfacing

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances; if the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: Seam allowance for the center back seam (for zipper insertion) of the garment - 2 cm. Other seams - 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width should be at least 140 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Try to observe the grain line direction.

  • From taffeta:
    • All upper and lower skirt pieces
    • Facing pieces
  • From dense organza:
    • All lower skirt pieces
  • From stiff tulle:
    • Inner flounce, stitched onto the underskirt
  • From fusible interfacing:
    • Facing pieces

Sewing Instructions

  1. Zipper in the center back seam of the back.
  2. All underskirt pieces made of taffeta are duplicated with organza and sewn together along all edges so that the taffeta is towards the legs.
  3. The inner flounce is stitched onto the underskirt from above and passes between the upper and lower layers of the skirt. (That is, the taffeta skirt should be towards the legs!)
  4. The bottom of the skirt is processed as a "balloon" (that is, the upper skirt is gathered along the lower edge to the length of the lower edge of the underskirt and finished at the bottom with a "clean edge").
  5. The facing is duplicated with fusible interfacing, and then the upper edge of the skirt is finished.
  6. Give the skirt its final shape on a mannequin, creating asymmetrical pleats decorated with decorative flowers.
