Materials Needed

To make this dress, you will need the following materials:

• Sewing machine
• Thread
• Scissors
• Pins
• Hemming gum
• Bias tape

Drafting the Back Pattern

1. Start by folding the fabric into two to create a symmetrical pattern for the back of the dress.
2. Draw a straight line to mark the shoulder line and determine the sleeve length.
3. Create a round neckline by going in from the center back and marking the width of the neck.
4. Connect the shoulder slope to the top of the neckline, curving it if desired.
5. Mark the bust measurement and add extra inches for the back pattern.
6. Connect the armhole to the end of the fabric, curving it down.
7. Draw a straight line to connect the shoulder and the end of the sleeve.
8. Cut out the back pattern.

Drafting the Front Pattern

1. Fold the fabric in half again and draw a straight line one and a half inches away from the edge to mark the center front.
2. Place the center back piece on the line and pin it in place.
3. Trace the armhole and sides from the back pattern onto the front pattern, leaving the neckline for now.
4. Open up the center front and separate the front pieces.
5. Mark the neckline from the top of the fabric, coming down by three and a half inches for the depth.
6. Cut out the neckline and trace the width from the back pattern onto the front pattern.
7. Remove the pins from the back pattern and mark the neckline in the front.
8. Hem the slits in the center front using hemming gum and iron the fabric to secure it.
9. Sew bias tape along the neckline to create a clean finish.
10. Hem the armhole and sides.
11. Cut out the front pattern.

Stitching the Dress

1. Pin the front and back shoulder areas together and sew them down.
2. Turn the fabric inside out and stitch the sides, ensuring everything is aligned.
3. Trim off any excess fabric and hem the ends.

Making the Waist Tight

1. Cut two belt pieces, approximately four inches wide and long enough to fit around your waist.
2. Sew the belts, turning them inside out.
3. Mark the waist measurement from the top of the shoulder and divide it into four.
4. Pin each belt piece to the front of the dress at the marked points.
5. Stitch the belts to the front of the dress.
6. Tie the belts around your waist to create the desired tightness.
