I heard someone say they want to try making a princess-line dress but find zippers a bit challenging! So, I've created a base pattern for a princess one-piece dress with a front panel without using zippers.
This pattern is recommended for maid costumes, cosplay outfits, and dress bases.
It's a simple construction where you just sandwich collars or flat collars with facings.
Even with its simple structure, I've designed the sleeves to be three-layered bell sleeves, adding an extra cute touch.
It looks incredibly cute when worn with a panier underneath.
And if you use snap buttons or similar closures, it'll be even easier to make.
This pattern includes lines for shortening the length.
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.
The production process is explained with translation software.
(1) Apply fusible interlining to the "Collar" and "facing" with an iron.
(2) Connect the "facing", press open the seam allowance (S/A) with an iron, and serge/overlock the outer part.

(3) Serge/overlock all sides, shoulders, "Sleeve" sides, and hems of the "Body".
(4) Stitch the back center line of the "Back bodice", then stitch the shoulders of the front (upper) "Front bodice" together, pressing open the seam allowance (S/A) with an iron.
* If shaping is difficult with an iron, use topstitching to secure.
(5) Stitch the non-Around the neck parts of the "Collar" together in a U-shape, then turn inside out and iron.
* Before turning inside out, trim the corners or leave a 2mm seam allowance (S/A) for cleaner shaping.
(6) Align the "Collar" at the collar stop position, sandwich it with the "facing", stitch together, then turn inside out and shape with an iron.
* Before turning inside out, make notches in the seam allowance (S/A) of Around the neck and trim the corners.
(7) Make buttonholes at the buttonhole positions.
* It's okay to do buttonholes last, but it's easier when the garment is smaller.
* For Dot buttons, attach them last.
(8) Align the upper and lower parts of the front (upper) "Front bodice" along the center line, serge/overlock, then fold downwards and secure with topstitching.
* Make sure the buttonhole is positioned on the upper side.
(9) Stitch all sides of the "Body", press open the seam allowance (S/A) with an iron, serge/overlock the hem, then fold up 1cm (0.5in) with an iron and sew on a sewing machine.
* When attaching frills or lace, attach them along with sewing on a sewing machine.
(10) Stitch the sides of the "Sleeve", divide the seam allowance (S/A) with an iron, fold the hem up 1cm (0.5in) with an iron, then sew on a sewing machine.
(11) Align the bottom of the "Body" side with the bottom of the "Sleeve" side, attach the "Sleeve" to the "Body", then serge/overlock.
