Mermaid Dress 2 Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

Comments are made using translation software.

This is a pattern for a mermaid dress, as requested.

Since it doesn't feature an extremely tight silhouette, it might be advisable to size down if using stretch materials.

The construction process is relatively straightforward as it only involves sewing and connecting the sides at the armpits.

The difficulty level is set to 5 due to the considerable amount of ruffles at the hem, which may take some time to complete.

The hem ruffles are shaped in a unique way, as you can see from the pattern, so it's worth taking a look at them.

I believe this dress would look cute made from bridal satin as a handmade wedding dress, or in black for a more luxurious feel, as shown in the picture. It can be used for various purposes.

It's also suitable as a base for mermaid-themed cosplay costumes.

After printing, paste it according to the pasting line,Cut and use.

The pattern has a seam allowance, so it can be used as is.

*If adding a bra strap to prevent slippage, insert it when sewing the “bodice” and “Facing” together in step (7).

*To reduce the number of pattern pieces for the Hem Frill, after cutting one piece of fabric, cut the pattern and reuse it. Please be careful when cutting.

*This pattern does not include a lining fabric. If using a sheer fabric, create the lining pattern using the Facing line.

(1) Apply Fusible interlining to the “Front facing” and “Back facing,” sew them together, and press the seam allowances open with an iron. Finally, serge/overlock the outer edges.

(2) Serge/overlock the side seams along the Sewing line (A)～(G).

(3) Apply stay tape to the Zipper Attachment Position.

(4) Sew up to the Sewing end position of Sewing line (G), and press the seam allowances open with an iron.

(5) Sew an invisible zipper at the Zipper Attachment Position.

(6) Sew the seams along Sewing lines (A)～(F), and press the seam allowances open with an iron.

*For Sewing lines (A)～(G), it's better to topstitch the seam allowances open for a cleaner finish.

(7) Sew the “bodice” to the “Facing,” turn it inside out, press the shape with an iron, and topstitch to stabilize the shape.

*When turning the fabric, make cuts into the seam allowance at areas where the fabric is pulling, especially at sharp angles.

*For the Hem Frill, if using fabric like tulle with raw edges, serging/overlocking is not necessary.

(8) Serge/overlock the Seam Positions (H) and (I) of the Hem Frill.

(9) Sew the Seam Positions (H) and (I) of the “Front Hem Frill (Upper Tier)” and “Back Hem Frill (Upper Tier)” separately, and press the seam allowances open with an iron.

(10) Serge/overlock the hems of the “Hem Frill (Upper Tier)” and “Hem Frill (Lower Tier)” (use rolled hemming for the sewing machine; narrow rolled edge for those with a serger).

(11) Gather the “Hem Frill (Upper Tier)” and “Hem Frill (Lower Tier)” at the designated gathering positions.

*After gathering, temporarily baste the “Hem Frill (Upper Tier)” and “Hem Frill (Lower Tier)” to make it easier to sew them onto the “bodice.”

(12) Align the “Front Hem Frill” at Alignment Position (A)～(D) and sew it onto the “bodice,” then gather and serge/overlock the seam allowances.

*If the fabric is thick, serge/overlock the bodice and the frill separately before attaching.

(13) Sew the spring hook at the spring hook position.
