Supplies

• Piping (length depends on the options). Measure the curves you want to add piping to and make a sum of the lengths.
• Fusible interfacing for the collar (H180 – H200)
• Fusible interfacing for ‘front part facing’ #17 (H180 -H200)
• Buttons: 5 or more buttons for the button up option

Below you can see how much fabric you need for all options. Fabric width = 110cm (44 inch).

This is the worst-case scenario for a dress with long sleeves and facing. If you don’t want to buy too much fabric, I advise you to cut out your pattern pieces and to take them with you to the fabric store. Do you purchase your fabric online? Tile the pieces on an existing fabric with the same width to calculate the amount of fabric you need for your options.
