Pleat Front Dress 630
PLEAT FRONT DRESS: Partially self-lined v-neck dress with bodice tucks and center front soft pleats. This is the perfect all occasion dress. Depending on the fabric you choose it can go from work to the club to church! The design of this dress has everything to do with the fit. The V neckline is taken of the straight of grain and looks barely like it will make a V on the pattern tissue, but this is what it gives the neckline its’ excellent snappy fit! The bust line pleats are soft and flattering as they fit into the inverted V bodice. The side seams softly curve at the waist and flow beautifully into the a-line skirt. The inverted box pleat of the skirt is slimming and flattering from both the front view and the side. A close fitting armhole and sleeve continue the slim lines of this fun to make dress. The center back seam is curved to follow the small of the back, an often missed fitting opportunity. The bodice is self lined which makes the construction simple by eliminating any topstitching.
SUGGESTED FABRICS: Knits of all kinds with at least 50% crosswise stretch.
