The simplicity of this dress is what makes it so lovely. What you donât see when looking at it is the hidden attention to detail, the curve of the asymmetrical neckline, the limited ease throughout the torso and waist and how that flows into the line of the skirt.
The one seam wrap is simplicity itself. One pattern piece with only sleeve seams, ties softly at the center front, is the perfect accent for the princess seam dress. You will see that the limited ease of the dress bodice lies flat against the body while the wrap ties around it. No unflattering gathers that add weight and bulk.
Learn to choose the perfect fabric, stabilize and self line the bodice and perfect the fit.
