Français. Princess Seams. I’ve been entrusted with the task of making a dress for my friend Julie.
Julie is tall, slender and not unlike Princess Aurora, so it’s only fitting that the dress I’m designing her is to have Princess Seams! The princess line travels either from the shoulder, like in Aurora’s dress, or from the armhole as in Julie’s sleeveless bodice and it’s a curved seam that contours outwards towards the widest point of the bust then inwards to the narrowest part of the waist. Often, the line can continue below the waist to the dress hem, curving outward to accommodate the hips. The technique for construction is the same whether the seam starts from the shoulder or the armhole, and is the same for the back as for the front.
Having said that, the curve at the back is less radical that at the bust, so if this is your first go, I recommend that you get a little practice by doing the back first. Drafting Pleats. The story so far: in March, I made myself a top with a pleated neckline, drafted with lots of help from my pattern-cutting tutor.
Whilst far from perfect, Nicotine Surprise proved very wearable and since then, others have asked me if I’d show them how to draft something similar. And I said: “(Gulp) Yeah…?” In preparation for the humbling feat, I redesigned the top and made Version 2 with 6 pleats instead of 8 and with facing instead of bias binding. The pleats radiate outwards instead of heading towards the bust. Tutoriel du patron de la jupe de base. Tuto#1.

The Coffee Date Dress pattern now comes in standard BurdaStyle sizes 34-42, based on JJ’s fantastic bodice sloper. It has a simple silhouette with a ruffle detail and just enough swing in the A-line skirt to make it dainty and feminine. It’s quick and simple to make and very versatile- try it in a neutral with a cardigan for work, in navy silk for dinner out, in a fun print with a big belt for weekends, or in black or fuschia satin for a festive cocktail party. This is my first time making a graded pattern, so I apologize for any errors or inaccuracies and suggest making a muslin of the basic bodice to test the fit :) IMPORTANT NOTES: unlike the original size 32 petite pattern, this pattern does not include seam allowances.
NOTE: I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING THE INSTRUCTIONS TO UPLOAD. If you make one, please post your creation to BurdaStyle- I would love to see it!
