INSTRUCTIONS:
ADVICE ON HOW TO PROCESS WITH SEQUIN
FABRIC.
Before sewing seams, remove sequins on seam allowance
up to seam lines. Reinforce sequins near seam line with one or two stitches to
prevent their unpicking. We also advice you to set special sewing machine foot
to sew the zipper, so that the foot goes along seam allowance where sequins are
unpicked. You can also sew these seams by hand, with close back stitches; in
this case, you do not need to unpick sequins.
1. Apply the fusing
to wrong side of upper back part, side upper front part, middle upper front
part, back strap, front strap.
2. Stitch upper
front relieves. Stitch upper back parts to upper front parts.
3. Stitch lining
details. Lay the lining on fabric details right sides together and stitch them
together along font neckline edge. Fold the lining out and topstitch it on
allowance at 1 mm from seam. Press the neckline, tack the lining details to
fabric ones along edges.
4. Make a narrow
roll of the piping. Cut the roll into 2 pieces and make two button loops. Tack
loops to end of left front strap; loop’s bending must be on the strap, loop’s
ends must be on edge allowance. Loops’ size depends on button’s diameter.
5. Stitch back
straps and front straps in pairs. Stitch outer straps to garment upper part
along middle upper back/front parts to the mark. Stitch inner straps to outer
ones along outer edge and strap end up to the mark. Cut allowance, cut corners
diagonally, make several slashes into seam allowance at roundings,
perpendicular to seam; stop slashing at 1 mm. Turn straps right side out. Fold
the rest segment of strap under and topstitch it along joining seam (right
side). Press the strap.
6.
Lay right upper front part on the left one coinciding middle lines, and tack
them together along lower edge.
7.
Stitch middle back edge into lower parts leaving a slit for zipper. Stitch
back/front relieve seams, leave a slit into left front relieve. Stitch side seams.
8.
Stitch dress lower part to upper one.
9.
Press closure allowance into wrong side. Stitch the zipper folding braid’s
upper corners to hide teeth.
10. Press slit
allowance into wrong side. Neaten hem allowance, press it into wrong side and
sew with blind stitches.
