Attention! We recommend using only stretchy fabrics for this dress.

You can determine the stretch factor of your fabric yourself. Mark 10 cm (4") along the crosswise grain of the fabric, lay a ruler next to the marked section and stretch the fabric. Divide the measurement you get by 10.

IMPORTANT! When purchasing fabric, please account for shrinkage and buy 5% more than required.

2. Clear elastic for finishing the neckline, 0.7 cm (just over 1/4") wide, for all sizes and heights — 0.5 m (1/2 yd)

3. Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker and coverstitch machine)

- sewing machine for construction

- overlocker for construction and finishing raw edges. It can be replaced with a stretch overlock stitch or a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (overlock or zigzag stitch width 2–3 mm, stitch length 2.5 mm)

- coverstitch or coverlock machine for finishing the garment hem. It can be replaced with a twin needle on a regular sewing machine that can do a zigzag stitch

Important! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). When sewing, a ball-shaped needle point pushes the knit loops apart without piercing the threads.
