9

The pattern of a close-fitting dress, slightly widened towards the bottom. The front of the dress is shaped with bust darts.  The neckline is round in shape with a teardrop fastener on the back with a button and a hanging loop. The dress is completed with removable ties. To attach the ties, there are buttons on the side seams, and hanging loops on the ties. The neckline and armholes are finished with bias binding.

This dress can be cut on-grain or on a bias.

When sewing from fabrics with little stretch, like natural silk, a fastener at the waist is not required. When sewing from fabrics without stretch, you will need to install a hidden zipper in the side seam.
