Fit and Flare Dress

The cutest dress on the block could be sewn up in retro cotton as a sweet and wearable day dress or made from something special for a flirty occasion dress. The choice is yours! Join Alison Leese, expert seamstress and owner of Ministry of Craft, for this one-day dressmaking workshop.

Using a fabric of your choice (see ‘What to Bring’), master essential dressmaking techniques as well as using one of our Janome overlockers for a professional finish to raw edges.

Designed to flatter whilst giving a little more movement with a pleated skirt. You decide how long or short you make the length and choose either a sleeveless style or one with a flattering mid-length sleeve. Sew darts, insert inset sleeves or add a sleeve facing, add a neck facing and insert an invisible zip.

As the style is close fitting, INTRODUCTION TO BODICE FITTING is the ideal workshop to attend prior to making the Fit and Flare Dress if you are bigger than a C-Cup so you can draft a bodice then bring it along to use.
