Size Chart – Inches

Size guidance: Measure the bust and hip around their fullest points and the waist around the natural waistline. If your measurements fall between two sizes, select the larger size and adjust the garment during fitting.

Approximate Fabric Consumption

Estimated requirements are based on approximately 44-inch-wide fabric.

Note: Fabric consumption can vary according to fabric width, print direction, pattern placement, skirt fullness, embroidery and individual measurements. Purchase additional fabric when pattern matching is required.

Cutting Guide

1. Take accurate bust, waist, hip, shoulder and desired dress-length measurements.
2. Select the appropriate size based on the size chart.
3. Place the pattern pieces according to the fabric grainline.
4. Cut the front and back bodice carefully.
5. Cut the skirt panels while maintaining the required flare.
6. Cut the short sleeves and neckline bow pieces.
7. Transfer all important notches and matching points.
8. Maintain approximately 1/2-inch seam allowance where required.

Stitching Tips

• Pre-shrink the fabric when appropriate before cutting.
• Use a fine, sharp needle suitable for the selected fabric.
• Stay-stitch the neckline and armholes to prevent stretching.
• Press seams during construction for a clean professional finish.
• Stabilize the neckline bow if working with soft or slippery fabric.
• Check bodice fitting before attaching the skirt.
• Use an invisible zipper foot for a neat back zipper installation.
• Attach the skirt evenly around the waistline.
• Allow the finished skirt to hang before making the final hem.
• For embroidered fabrics, use a soft lining to improve comfort.

Embroidery & Boutique Styling

The Rosalie Bow design can be customized with delicate floral embroidery, thread work, small sequins, French knots or subtle beadwork. Keep the embroidery balanced around the bodice and lower skirt so the vintage silhouette remains the main focus.

For a modern boutique appearance, pastel green, dusty rose, champagne, powder blue, ivory, lavender and muted peach work beautifully with this design.

Styling Suggestions

• Pair with pearl or delicate drop earrings.
• Style with a small clutch for evening occasions.
• Choose nude or matching heels for an elongated silhouette.
