0111 Off-the-shoulder dress pattern

Straight fitted knitted dress with long sleeves and drapery on open shoulders Style and silhouette: Silhouette: An ultra-feminine and seductive «second skin» silhouette that accentuates the contours of the figure. The straight cut from the chest to the hips creates the effect of a slender «column». Neckline: Deep, wide boat neck in front and back, revealing shoulders and collarbones. Shoulders: Bold cut with open shoulders. The main highlight of the model is the elegant soft drapery that falls from the top of the shoulder/armhole down the sleeve and partially over the body in front and back. The drapery at the top creates volume and dynamics, contrasting with the form-fitting bottom. Sleeves: Long, form-fitting sleeves that blend seamlessly into the drapery on the shoulders. Design and Features: Recommended fabrics: The pattern is designed exclusively for elastic knitted fabrics of medium and high density (jersey, lycra, biflex, scout, thin double knit). The fabric must have good stretchability (longitudinally and often laterally) and the ability to recover in order to ensure a perfect fit and maintain the shape of the drapery. Fit: As tight as possible over the entire body, including the chest, waist, hips and sleeves. This requires strict adherence to standards. Armholes: Deep armholes are necessary in order to open the shoulder and begin draping. Back: one-piece, repeats the tight-fitting cut of the front. The neck of the backrest is also open. There is no fastener due to the elasticity of the jersey. The dress is worn over the head. Recommendations: Difficulty: Suitable for beginners who are familiar with working with elastic knitted fabrics and creating draperies. Seam treatment: It is mandatory to use stretchable seams (zigzag, stretch stitch, chain overlock, coverlock). Hem treatment: The bottom of the sleeves and the dress are treated with narrow double stitching (zigzag stitching or double needle) to preserve elasticity. Fitting: When sewing, it is very important to make several fittings to adjust the fit, especially in the area of draperies and armholes. Testing: Before unfolding the main fabric, be sure to make a trial version (dummy) of a similar knit to check the fit and behavior of the drapery. Effect: This dress is the epitome of modern elegance with a touch of audacity. The form-fitting silhouette emphasizes the figure, and the spectacular drapery on the open shoulders gives the image a sculptural, luxurious and attractive look. Perfect for evening walks, special occasions or when you want to make a lasting impression.
