This book was made for you, my dear friends. It is basically a summary of all things explained on our same-name video course in Corset Academy membership library.
Premium Dress is a detailed guide to the sewing techniques employed in the making of a fantastic dress by a famous Lebanese fashion designer - Krikor Jabotian.
Peculiar features of this corset dress:
- The pattern was purposely designed to keep the front and the back of the skirt whole instead of splitting them up by vertical princess seams.
- An additional princess seam on the front half of the lining ensures maximum tight fit in the waist.
- The neckline edge is treated in a new special technique.
- The dress features concealed side seams.
- The dress is made from three layers: lining, background fabric, and sequin overlay fabric.
- There is a blind zipper and concealed inner lacing.
- Ruffles are sewn on the see-through skirt in accordance with a complicated layout scheme.
- There is a 3D decorative ruffle piece on the shoulder of the dress.
- The bodice is draped.
- The dress is complemented with a decorative buckle and matching hair clips in the form of plastic suede flowers.
