Party dress with plain bodice and balloon skirt sewing pattern for women — Dress 214
Dress 214 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: party dress with plain bodice and balloon skirt.
The bodice is fitted and sleeveless, with a rounded neckline and a wide sash in a contrast color that defines the waist. The skirt is full, balloon-style, built from layers of asymmetric ruffles that give it volume and movement.
The bodice works best in a knit with elastane so it fits without wrinkling, and the skirt in a fabric with body and a crisp drape, such as taffeta or satin, so the balloon holds up on its own. It is best to line the skirt and reinforce the sash with interfacing so it keeps its shape with wear.
Recommended fabrics: Satin, Taffeta, Jersey with spandex and Crepe.
