It was when couture had to actually start following what was happening on the streets, because it was the first time style changed direction, he elaborated
Body Type: A-line dresses or fit-and-flare styles are flattering and suit most body types
The practical difference I explain to buyers Regular A-line: clean lines, less seam bulk, easier pressing Tiered A-line: more movement, more story, more forgiving fit The tradeoff: tiered styles need tighter fabric and sewing control A quick comparison table Where should the tiers sit to look flattering, not bulky
Notes before you begin: -This pattern is made up of 2 very long panels that will be seamed together to create a long dress -you can adjust your panel size by measuring the widest part of your body from your neck to your ankle (widest part for me was my upper thighs - I explained below how you can calculate this once you have the measurement) -you can also adjust the length by adding more rows to the beginning and end of your panels -important to note, the CH at the beginning of each row counts as your first stitch -this dress is a loose fit (I cinched the waist with a belt) -if you scroll to bottom of this post, I included an image that shows the repeat of the pattern, if you are a visual learner like me, just jump to that image
