Skill level: This pattern is suitable for advanced sewers.
Recommended material: There are many suitable fabrics for this dress. It is important to use some kind of lighter woven fabric (rigid, inflexible fabrics) so that the skirt is not very heavy due to its volume. You can use micro satin, chiffon, blouse fabrics, light viscose, linen fabrics, laces, etc.
The required amount of material (for 140 cm / 55" wide fabric):
-Primary fabric - Sizes 32–46: 2.5 m / 100" and Sizes 48–60: 3.1 m / 122"
-Lining fabric (optional) - Sizes 32–46: 1 m / 40" and Sizes 48–60: 1.6 m / 63"
There are two versions of this pattern (after purchase you will receive both versions):
-1st version (one size view) – PDF A4 – pattern in individual sizes with seam allowances outlined– all individual sizes of the pattern (pattern of each size shows sewing lines and seam allowances are outlined too).
-2nd version (classic view) – PDF A4 pattern showing all sizes without seam allowances - all sizes are outlined “in one picture”(each in its own color) without seam allowances.
-You can choose what works best for you. The advantage of the classic view (where all the sizes are shown) is that you can easily customize your pattern to fit body types in between the chart sizes. One size view saves time during preparation - you do not have to think where and how much to add for the seams, because everything is already there.
Size charts: Imperial & metric size charts can be found in the product gallery.
