The Harmony Dress is a combination knit and woven garment. The form-fitting knit bodice has a high "V" shaped neckline and a peekaboo opening at the bust. The grown on sleeve covers the shoulder. Below the bodice is a full woven skirt with deep pockets. The dress hits just above the ankle and the waistline is adjustable: By using your own measurements, you may choose where the waistline is placed.
Sewing Level: Confident Beginner: A confident beginner has made a handful of garments before, is familiar with and comfortable using diagrams and written instructions and has familiarity with introductory sewing terms.
Suitable fabrics:
The bodice of the dress should be made in a knit with a greater horizontal stretch ( at least 30%) than vertical. Ponte, Yoga cloth and midweight rib knits with excellent recovery are recommended.
The skirt portion of the dress can be made in light to mid weight cottons and linens, including gauze, shirting, seersucker, lawn, voile and linen blends. For a more fluid look with less fullness, try viscose, cupro, rayon, or silk.
