Easy Pleated Dress With Bow Back Detail Sewing Tutorial + Pattern Download |Pleated Lily Dress|

[Music] [Music] hello i'm daria and today i want to show you a second tutorial of this adorable dress using my new pattern pleated lily dress for this pattern cotton bubbling or something with similar features would be the best for this dress i used light to medium cotton by indie bindi and it looks voluminous i'm not 100 happy with the fabric i used for the tutorial it's a whiskers cotton blonde and i think it's a little bit too flowy and thick for the style but it hasn't affected the tutorial so keep watching i start with assembling the button by tapping pages together cut and here are the pattern pieces the fabric should be folded in half along the grain line make note of the green line as the front pieces and shots need to be placed on the fold don't forget to transfer all the notches to the fabric pieces by clipping also make notches on the centers of the pieces which were placed on the fold as the straps need to be fully interfaced you can cut them from a pre interface fabric at once if the fabric lift allows it use the grain line on the panel pieces for the interfacing two fold the interface straps in half and press make notches along the fault lines [Music] we have non-stretchy straps which don't need facings we have to prevent the neckline from stretching out so you can sew on the clear elastic tape along the top of the body's front facing later or iron on the stated now [Music] i make a state tape from the interfacing along the non-stretchy direction [Music] assemble the front facing by stitching the center piece and sides as well as the main front bodice [Music] press the seams open on the bath it's excellent if you have a curved pressing ham let's make pleats starting from the center the pleats should be folded towards each side the seams should be covered by pleats it's convenient to start from the center i match the notches make a fold and pin it towards the side and go ahead ignore the bust seams put the seam allowances flat the distance between the pleats is 2 centimeters then make all the same on the second side stitch along the edge to secure make all the same on the bottom of the panel starting from the center stitch to secure press the pleat slightly i recommend using a round pressing half to maintain the bust curve press flat on the center and sides keep the pleated panel eased do not stretch it attach the front straps to the top of the pleated front panel attach the front facing panel to the pleated panel with the right size together sandwiching the straps in the centers together if your fabric is as thick as mine trim the seam allowance corners if you're using a clear tape now it's the most convenient moment to stitch it in place along the seam allowance slightly stretch it while stitching stitch the seam along the facing panel turn the face into the inside and press the front bodice along the top edge so that the facing is not visible from the outside stitch five millimeters away from the edge along the sides and bottom of the front bodies to hold the pieces together check if the neckline is matching the pattern width transfer the markings indicated on the skirt pattern i make it by marking a little cross on the baseline point the notches on the top are already clipped you can draw the lines or you can baste the pleats before stitching if you need it i just match the points on the waist and the notches on the top with pins when i have matched the top notches with the back stitch i draw only one line to the waist point and stitch along it stitch all the front square place press the blades toward the center working from the wrong side at the waistline top stitch five millimeters perpendicular to the end of every plate attach the front skirt to the front bodice right sides together and matching the centers [Music] [Music] finish the seam allowance with an overlocker or a zigzag stitch working from the body side press the seam toward the skirt [Music] now transfer the markings indicated on the back pattern i make it the same as i do it on the front skirt [Music] a zipper will be installed in the center back so i have to make a zipper notch to find this measure your actual zipper length and make a notch in the zipper installation method i use i sew an additional 1.5 or 2 centimeters past this notch when sewing the back seam so i mark it too [Music] as my fabric is a little bit unstable along the center back i will everyone's strips of an interfacing along the mouth edge until the zipper notch i make it now just because it's convenient to interface flat pieces i match the points on the waist and pin together i fold the piece over a top notch and draw a dart line [Music] sew the back darts on both back pieces stopping at the waistline you should start stitching a little bit under the notch so that few first stitches go almost on the fold press the dust towards the center working from the wrong side at the waistline top stitch five millimeters perpendicular to the end of every dot finish the center back edge on both pieces with an overlocker or a zig-zag stitch place both back pieces right sides together and stitch the center back seam stopping at the notch you are marked press the stitched area of the center back seam open install the invisible zipper in the center back i detail my method in the instructions for this pattern but you can sew it in any way you prefer i have switched my presser foot to an invisible zipper foot starting 1.3 centimeters from the top edge i stitch down one side of the zipper tape close to the thief stopping at the point where the center back seam starts repeat for the other side pull the zipper slider through the remaining small hole between the dipper and the back seam and close the zipper press the zipper lightly stitch the dipper tape tail to the back seam allowances only iron on the interfacing on the back facing pieces or sewn elastic clear tape along the top edge this will prevent the back neckline from stitching out finish the bottom edges with an overlocker or zigzag stitch attach the back straps to the top of the bed pieces unfold the invisible zipper tapes attach the facing with the right sides together sandwiching the straps understitch the seam along the back facings make sure the facings are on the same level flip the facing over from the top to the inside of the dress using a zip a foot or with your needle position close to the zipper teeth stitch the facing down along the zipper teeth if your fabric is as thick as mine trim the corner if it's not it will be needed to keep it press all that the facings aren't visible from the outside so the side seams matching the notches finish the seam allowances with an overlapper if you are sure about the waist fit if not do it later after a fitting unfold the straps and place the back and front straps right sides together stitch the shoulder seams [Music] on the fault line trim the corner by cutting a notch closed but not through the seam press the shoulder seams open fold the straps in half again and press one more time now is the right time to check the shoulders and waists fit i'm finishing the skipped side seams and pressing them towards the back finish the skirt hair match with an overlocker or a zigzag stitch working from the right side fold the skirt hem over 1.5 centimeters towards the wrong side and stitch one centimeter away from the edge i navigate by the markings on my sewing machine press the skirt hem finish both sleeve hems with an overlocker or a zigzag stitch sew the sleeve seams finish the seam allowances with an overlocker and press towards the back fold the sleeve hems over 1.5 centimeters toward the wrong side and stitch one centimeter away from the edge press pin the pleats on the sleeve heads as mark on the button and match the pleat notches and pin them together then match the edges together and pin them as well the pleats should face towards the top looking from the right side i make the front side first then the back this point will mesh with the shoulder seam stitch along the sleeve heads to hold the pleats in place sew the sleeves into the arm size matching the notches on the sleeve the seams on the bodice finish the ends of the ribbon with your preferred method heat seal or fold the ends twice and stitch attach the ribbon to the back arm side next to the shoulder seam press the seam allowances toward the sleeves but do not press the pleats as i have said my fabric is a little bit too flowy so i want to show you an additional little hack on how to keep the volume of the sleeve it's absolutely optional take 15 centimeters of a tool mesh and fold it lengthwise fold in half crosswise cut it in two equal pieces make the corners of the raw edges rounded now we have two such two pieces make random medium pleats along the raw edge so the fold of the piece becomes rounded now we have two such tool pieces make random medium pleats along the raw edge so the fold of the piece becomes rounded [Music] stitch along the edge to secure the pleats pin the splitter two piece into the arm side matching its center with the shoulder [Music] [Music] the difference is that now the volume of the sleeve heads is more secure now finish the rom size with an overlocker tie a bow and the dress is ready thanks to fashionary for this great gift thanks to
