Sewing Pattern
The PRIMROSE dress will make you the prettiest girl at the dance... The skater skirt is made up of panels, making it a real showstopper with an open back, or more elegant with a full back. The neckline of the dress is delicately scooped. The front of the bust is gathered, and the back is cinched with an elasticated waistband. The remarkable detail of this pretty sewing pattern: the pleated, twisted cuff, almost like a trademark of your hand-sewn creation (this detail is the same whether you choose the buttoned cuff finish, or the simplified cuff without button version).
Booklet and plan are both in French and English.
Sewing level: INTERMEDIATE, the technical aspects include making the pleated cuff, the rip-stop slit on the buttoned cuff version, making the gathers and fitting the elastic.
Seam allowances of 1 cm are included.
The Primrose pattern sizes from 34 to 52.
Size:
Emilie wears Primrose in size 36.
