How To Style And Wear Your Tiered Dress Pattern

Tiered Dresses have a cult following for a reason. Casual enough to be worn with sandals and a mini straw bag during your warm-weather city stroll, yet romantic and feminine for the cocktail hour, you can dress it up and down depending on the occasion. Style it with neutral-colored sandals or opt for kitten heels and throw your hair up in a ponytail. Rock it with a pair of espadrilles and a minaudiere bag to tap into romance territory. The options are endless.

Fabric Suggestion:

For your tiered dress pattern, we suggest using a woven fabric such as cotton poplin, organic cotton or light linen. These lightweight fabric have a bit of structure, which will help the dress keep its shape. Additionally, these fabrics are easy to sew and press, so you'll have no trouble getting a professional-looking finish. And best of all, they're comfortable to wear in warm weather. So if you're looking for a fabric that will help you stay cool and look sharp, cotton poplin or linen is a great choice.

How much fabric do you need for your DIY dress?

For each size, you can find the fabric requirement table below, but you have to keep in mind that the calculations apply to fabrics with a width useful for 140-150 cm. The placement of the patterns will need to be redone for fabrics of different widths and different designs (stripes, plaids, etc.).

Check your contraction!

Prior to cutting, determine the fabric's contraction. It can be determined by steaming and ironing the raw material at its highest temperature recommendation. By using this method, your garment will remain true to its sewn size even after being washed for the first time.

To account for shrinkage, you should buy 5% more than your project requires.
