A classic lined dress is a must for any wardrobe, as it
can be dressed up or down, worn under a jacket or cardigan
or on its own. The fit of a dress can cause problems, as
can inserting the lining without messing up the shoulders.
On this two day class you will begin by making a toile to
make sure that you have the correct fit. You will then
make up the lined dress in a fabric of your own choice.
Plenty of tricks of the trade for fit and construction
techniques and hem applications.
Material Costs: Suitable fabrics and patterns etc are available from
Fabulous Fabric.
