Isabelle dress

15.00

Isabelle is an evening gown with an accentuated waist due to the waist seam. The corset bodice of the dress is close-fitting. The front and back of the bodice are shaped with princess seams featuring rigilene boning inserted into applied channels. There are rouleau loops at the center back for the lacing. The dress fastens with an invisible zipper in the center back seam. The fabric-covered bra cups are sewn to the bodice, and the ruching over the bust area is secured at the center front and the side seams. The low V-neckline is finished with mesh in the nude color. The fancy sleeves are voluminous and feature draping. The waist seam features a decorative waistband. The full skirt is layered and flares out towards the bottom. The yoke and the outer skirt layer are gathered tightly. The skirt of the dress is finished with a free-hanging lining. Isabelle is floor length.

Approximate sewing time — 3 days (24 hours).

Model Marina: Height 176 cm (5'9"), Bust 84 cm (33 1/8"), Waist 62 cm (24 3/8"), Hips 90 cm (35 3/8"). Marina is wearing size 36 in height 3.

To sew this dress, you will need several types of fabric, each layer being made of different fabric type. 

For the 1st layer, choose soft and smooth tulle.

For the 2nd layer of the bodice, choose corsetry mesh which is non-stretch and has a fabric weight of about 45 g/m2.

For the channels and rouleau loops, choose dress-weight fabrics that are medium weight, pliable, soft, non- or low-stretch, opaque. The fiber content can include natural fibers (silk), artificial fibers (viscose), blends (cotton + silk, silk + polyester, cotton + viscose, etc.), and synthetics (polyester, polyester + elastane). For example, you can use satin which is 100% polyester and has a fabric weight of 160–190 g/m2. The fabric should be soft, fluid, opaque, and with a beautiful distinctive sheen.

Attention!We do not recommend fabrics with the following properties:

- stretchy knit fabrics and crisp, structured fabrics (organza, cotton).

For the lining, choose lining fabrics made of natural fibers (silk), artificial fibers (viscose), blends (cotton + silk, silk + polyester, cotton + viscose, etc.), or synthetics (polyester, polyester + elastane). For example, you can use artificial silk that is similar in properties to the natural one.

The dress in the photo is made of tulle. The fabric is lightweight, pliable, soft, and sheer. The fiber content is 100% polyester. The fabric weight is 30 g/m2. One layer of corsetry mesh on the bodice serves as the lining. The fabric is medium weight, pliable, soft, non-stretch, sheer. The fabric weight is 40 g/m2.

The free-hanging lining of the skirt is made of artificial silk. The fabric is lightweight, soft, and pliable. The fiber content is 100% polyester. The fabric weight is 160 g/m2.

The dress is sewn with pre-made bra cups. The outer layer is made of knit fabric, 100% polyester.

The channels and rouleau loops are made of silk satin. The fabric is medium weight, soft, and non-stretch. The fiber content is 100% polyester. The fabric weight is 190 g/m2.
